Three days of simulator to turn on the rubber
“No one likes to come second, I want to win, if there is an opportunity in China I must not let it slip away”. Charles Leclerc he hasn't stood on the top step of the podium in F1 since the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix, almost two years. The Monegasque is in good company given that in this period of time, in addition to the dominator Max Verstappen, only Sergio Perez, Carlos Sainz and George Russell have won, but the goodness of the Ferrari SF-24 will most likely give Leclerc some ammunition to fire in this season.
The important thing, however, is to hit the mark as Carlos Sainz has already managed in Australia. Leclerc must first of all make up for two negative qualifications in Australia and Japan: “I spent three days at work in the simulator working on how to turn on the tire – declared Charles Leclerc to the microphones of Sky Sports – in China there will be two Qualifiers and two Races with the opportunity to score a lot of points and I will have to be ready.”
The Ferrari driver also commented on Fernando Alonso's renewal with Aston Martin until at least 2026: “Fernando is one of the most talented drivers on the grid, he deserves his place in F1, there are also many young people who deserve their place, but it is not easy to find the balance. I most likely won't be in F1 until I'm 43, even if I like it a lot, I also want to try other categories, including definitely racing at Le Mans.”
