Charles Leclerc described Friday at the Dutch Grand Prix as “probably the worst of the season,” highlighting Ferrari’s struggles post-summer break as a “wake-up call.”
Ferrari hoped to recover from their Hungarian GP disappointment but had a challenging start at Zandvoort, with Lewis Hamilton as the faster driver.
Their long run pace lagged behind McLaren, Red Bull, and Mercedes, with Leclerc acknowledging the difficulty and the need for a turnaround.
Identifying two corners as major time-loss areas, Leclerc emphasized the team’s focus on finding solutions for these challenges.
Despite Hamilton showing more comfort, the team faces a tough weekend ahead with the aim of improving performance and overcoming the setbacks.
