When Leclerc knew he’d be sacrificed to boost Ferrari's victory bid
In Singapore, Leclerc started on soft tires from third place and managed to overtake George Russell at the start, putting Ferrari in a 1-2 position. However, Leclerc was ultimately compromised and finished fourth, while his teammate Sainz went on to win the race and end Red Bull’s winning streak. Leclerc revealed that Ferrari had planned to support the car in the lead, regardless of who it was, and he is motivated to win a race before the season ends. Despite Ferrari’s recent success, Leclerc expects Red Bull and Max Verstappen to be strong in the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. He also anticipates a close fight with McLaren and Mercedes for the best-of-the-rest position.
