Charles Leclerc says success for Ferrari in Formula 1’s Bahrain Grand Prix will be dependent on reducing the slow-speed understeer
Following a challenging campaign last season that led to a mid-season concept change, Ferrari is fully committed to a comprehensive overhaul with their 2024 challenger, the SF-24. The Italian team’s main goal is to provide both drivers with a more drivable car than its predecessor, with Charles Leclerc confirming the improvements during pre-season testing. Despite the progress made, Leclerc acknowledges that there is still room for improvement in various areas for Ferrari’s 2024 contender. Specifically, he points out the need to enhance performance in low-speed corners and address understeer issues that multiple teams encountered during testing. Leclerc hopes that Ferrari can build on the positive momentum from the previous season and aims to be in contention for more victories to define a successful 2024 campaign.
