The so called “media duties” they introduce us to weekend in Florida, the first American stage out of three of this long calendar. Circuit celebrating its second birthday with some changes made by the FIA regarding the length of the DRS zones. Decision on which the pilots expressed themselves during the press conference, in particular George Russell who admits that the choice was made without the opinion of the pilots. Charles talks about starting him with Ferrari…
The first sofa:
A heartfelt opening the press conference De Vries which gathers in Faenza after the floods of the last few days, Russell pinched about the "spat" with Max Verstappen in Baku, discourse diverted with the usual English tepidness, Sergeant pampered during the weekend at home and therefore determined to do well, Or with which talks about the experience in Nascar and the dinner with Vin Diesel e Charles Leclerc by now a musical star, who, having detached himself from the piano, has a mind only for the dance floor: "I'm confident" admits.
Worst boot for Charles..
After the first four weekends of this season, only the last one can be considered positive for the Maranello team, which with two poles and two podiums (thanks to the sprint race format tested in Baku) allows those who support the red car to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Quickly let's talk about the weekend in Baku, the best one for you so far, how much it was a confidence booster and what can we expect from you here?”
"Yes, it was great, after the first three very negative races, we were very unlucky in Bahrain, we were third before a technical problem, then the penalty in the second race and the retirement caused by the incident with the Haas in Australia, so he couldn't get worse” admits the Monegasque. “In Azerbaijan, however, it went very well, we took our first pole which shows how strong our car is especially in qualifying, in the race we confirmed our weaknesses, we need to improve on the race pace, because Red Bull is still too strong for now"
Is Red Bull really a mirage?
Ferrari's apparent improvement has given everyone hope, thanks to a notoriously congenial track for Charles, in fact, the real updates are expected here in America.
"Do you think the updates scheduled for this weekend can bring you closer to the Milton Keynes team?” Leclerc's answer is as usual pragmatic: “They should push us in the right direction, I don't think it will be enough to fight them but I'm sure they'll take us in the right direction”
So much optimism from Charles for a season that is still very long.
