The last victory of Charles Risale to Austria. From that first place conquered with sweat due to the jammed accelerator, Charles has seen the dominance of his rivals emerge. Verstappen he took it all, conceding only one win to teammate Sergio Perez. Leclerc arrives in the United States with little hope of victory due to a penalty for the change of the Power Unit which will place him at the bottom of the grid. The Monegasque will have to work hard to make his way, but the US track lends itself well when it comes to comebacks.
Leclerc opens up: here's what we need to improve…
Charles, as usual, speaks sincerely in front of the microphones. In this case, the Monegasque analyzed the parts where the team needs to improve, especially in view of the year to come: "In the Sunday execution as a whole, in a lot of things. It's the tire management, that as we have seen in the last few races it's a weak point la communication, the strategy, reliability. The aim is to be a stronger team on Sunday and finalize the weekend in the best possible way, because on Saturday we are often very strong, but on Sunday things often fall apart".
The improvements are not a mirage
Charles analyzed what he and the team are working hard on for the future, highlighting where the team is still quite weak. These last few races will serve the team to round off the corners in view of 2023, without the pressure of having to fight for a world championship that has already gone "final".
The pilot said: “I think that for strategy, communication, etc., We've been working on it for a few races and I've seen positive signs, so it's good. Then there's tire management, as we've seen in the last few races, and this is the slightly more difficult thing to solve; we must identify all the causes. "
"But this is what we are continuously working on and improving on. I think we've seen it this year: in some races we've been very good at tire management, and in other specific situations like in Japan, where Sunday was cooler, we're not as good as maybe Red Bull was. we have to work on this."
