Leclerc: “Red Bull made leaps and bounds – I’m not optimistic about the immediate future”

The season has started in a disappointing way Ferrari.

The Italian team expected to perform even more improved than last year and take the lead in F1 again, but so far they are showing many steps behind Red Bull, which has imposed its rule. Not only that, but in the ranking of manufacturers it is currently fourth, behind and Aston Martin and Mercedes!

This absolute dominance of Red Bull was also admitted by Charles Leclercin his statements ahead of the Grand Prix of his birthday, of Monaco. The “pilot” of Ferrari emphasized that the Austrian team has made leaps ahead, and it will take a lot for the “little horse” to reach them.

What the Monegasque pilot said in detail:

“The car does exactly what we expected it to do in terms of performance. This means we didn’t do a bad job, we just didn’t live up to our expectations. But unfortunately Red Bull Racing made double the jump than us, so I think we have to revise our targets

There are certain things that we realized will be better in the future for us. They give us confidence about what’s to come. Now, I understand more why we are where we are. I am very optimistic about the future, but not for the immediate, because the difference from Red Bull is big. I am sure we will come back stronger in the battle. I don’t want to put a timetable, but we will work as hard as possible to be as fast as we can. We are looking at the concept of our car. However, it is too early to draw conclusions. It hasn’t worked out as well as we’d hoped, but that doesn’t mean we have to completely change it from now on. But we have an idea of ​​how to make it work and catch Red Bull.”
