Charles Leclerc, the king of self-criticism
Un difficult weekend, a very tough qualification. Charles Leclerc, with one very eloquent look comment and do autocriticism about his latest performances. “This time I also have had time to look at the on board: It's not like I was doing anything out of the ordinary, like I did in Miami, for example. It was a really difficult car to drive this weekend: we go from a lot of understeer to a lot of oversteer. In these conditions even more… We have to try to improve as quickly as possible and that's it. For now it is very, very difficult to understand exactly, even to anticipate what the car will do in the corner."
The Monegasque driver then continues: “La 9 , 10 are curve that we did fatigue to manage. From the first laps we told ourselves they were two points to focus on to try to improve… For now we haven't yet found what makes us improve. To date, unfortunately, there are no excuses. In the end I'm the one driving the car and I made a mistake. But I have to say that this weekend was really difficult. "
A question of aerodynamics
He then concludes Charles Leclerc, commenting on the downforce of the Ferraris: "I know the burden we have is also amazing. But we know the packages we have well and we are sure that this is the right choice. Unfortunately that's what we have for now, then it was the best choice with what we had. Now we need to look ahead and create a package that is more suited to tracks like this, which we don't have yet." “What race do I imagine? Uphill, definitely. It's a track where it is difficult to overtakelet's see. "
