The updates of the Ferrari they debuted last weekend at the Imola GP, and although they did not give the maximum that the team had hoped for, the gap with Red Bull seems much more bridgeable compared to the beginning of 2024. The Ferrari drivers, in fact, obtained the maximum offered by the car , reaching the podium with Charles Leclerc. The new updates will arrive before the summer break, below are the words of the Monegasque driver on the eve of his home GP, in Monaco.
Ferrari is on the right path to win, Leclerc confirms this
After GP of Imola, Frederic Vasseur left veiled declarations on the fact that, in Maranello, something is already cooking in view of the new updates on the SF24 Evo. Driver Charles Leclerc himself confirmed this Monaco Info, local radio and television broadcaster, awaiting the Monaco Grand Prix, the home of driver 16.
Charles first commented on the Imola weekend, confirming the step forward that the SF24 Evo has made against Red Bull, still a target to beat. «The updates at Imola worked, I already felt more at ease even though the circuit wasn't the best to judge its quality» is what we read on Passion formula. The Monegasque then continued: «soon more will come with whom we hope to take the lead. Currently Red Bull is still the reference and McLaren has also grown a lot."
This, therefore, confirms what the Team Principal anticipated after the Imola race. There are new updates in store which will debut not in the next Grands Prix, but before the summer break, in July. Probably right at Silverstone.
THEobiettivo is to not only get closer to Red Bull, but above all to surpass it. Charles Leclerc hopes for a victory that could break the drought of successes that the Monegasque has faced since Austria 2022, when the F1 75 was – at least initially – superior to the RB18. Now I am distancing him from Max Verstappen, championship leader 48 points despite not yet winning any races.
Leclerc's hope on the home weekend
My start to the season is definitely better than that of 2023. We didn't win in Imola, but we got the points we could get. I'll try to win on Sunday in Monaco, it's my favorite weekend because pushing hard on those streets is extraordinary, practically everything is decided on Saturday in Qualifying and that's also why we drivers like that weekend so much
