“I would be surprised if we weren't at least fighting.” Charles Leclerc sounds the charge in sight during the press conference of Monaco GP. The pilot of Ferrari, highly anticipated at the home weekend, believes in the 'new SF-24' and the updates brought by Maranello team, especially after what we saw (at least in terms of pace) in Imola. “There may be some surprises. We will have to see how strong we are compared to the others – he continued”. Then, on her feelings for the weekend: “Racing here is always a special feeling. I feel good and can't wait for this moment of the season to arrive. I care a lot about it because I was born here. We have always been competitive this year and, even if it hasn't always gone well for me here, let's be optimistic and we've worked hard."
Leclerc in conference: "At the Monaco GP it will be important to know how to evaluate the risks"
The Monegasque obviously wants to start again from the third place he won in Imola, but trying to climb even further onto the podium. It won't be easy considering both the strength of Red Bull and McLaren. In addition to them, however, we must also consider the pitfalls of a track like that of Monte-Carlo where every mistake can be and prove fatal: "It's always a track where you can't do anything wrong, but it's exciting. There risk assessment it will be the one that makes the difference on this type of track."
“Engine change? It could have an impact on the season."
Ferrari at Imola performed an engine change for Leclerc, a topic that doesn't scare the Monegasque for this weekend: “I think it's a question of how we manage the components. We have to look at the situation a bit but it's not a big problem. We've looked at things a little bit but I don't think it's going to make a big difference here, whereas this it's a theme that can influence the course of the season".
