Charles Leclerc expressed concerns about the new Formula 1 cars for the 2026 season, stating that they are not the most enjoyable race cars he has driven. He divides his simulator time between the 2025 car and the 2026 model due to significant regulation changes. Currently in fifth place in the drivers’ championship, Leclerc acknowledges Ferrari’s struggle for performance this season. Despite reservations about the new cars, he emphasizes the importance of starting strong in 2026 and remains confident in his ability to adapt to the challenges. Leclerc believes that with the right tools and teamwork with Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari can overcome any current obstacles and aim for the fastest car on the track.
