Charles Leclerc listed several key changes, both from a personal and team perspective that have led Ferrari toward a Formula 1 title challenge in 2024.
Ferrari has been performing exceptionally well lately, securing victories in back-to-back Grands Prix in Austin and Mexico City with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Their recent triumph, a one-three finish in the Mexico GP, has pushed them to second place in the Constructors’ standings, trailing McLaren by just 29 points. Leclerc highlighted the improvements he’s made as a driver since joining Ferrari in 2019, particularly in enhancing his tyre management skills. The team’s progress over the years was also acknowledged by Leclerc, attributing it to small incremental steps and the exceptional work of Strategy Director Ravin Jain. Fred Vasseur’s appointment as Team Principal in 2023 has further contributed to Ferrari’s resurgence, with his ability to maintain a clear vision and emotional detachment benefiting the team greatly. Leclerc recognizes that there’s still room for improvement but remains optimistic about Ferrari’s future development and the goal of winning both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships.
