Charles Leclerc, the Monaco-born Ferrari driver, dismissed any concerns regarding Ferrari’s decision to replace his race engineer in Formula 1 from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Last week, Ferrari announced that Xavi Marcos, who had been Leclerc’s engineer since 2019, would take on a different role within the company. Although such changes can sometimes lead to issues, Leclerc is confident that his new engineer, Bryan Bozzi, who has worked extensively with him in the past, will ensure a smooth transition. Leclerc acknowledged the fierce competition at the front of the grid, but emphasized that the decision was made by the team and Marcos, and he trusts their plans. He believes that he and Bozzi will be able to continue their successful collaboration without major setbacks. Leclerc also mentioned that the appointment of Frederic Vasseur as team principal in 2022 had already improved communication, and he hopes this change will further enhance their working relationship. Overall, Leclerc is focused on maintaining effective communication and achieving the best possible results on track.
