Charles Leclerc has explained how becoming “more at ease” with Ferrari’s 2023 Formula 1 car inspired his upturn in form
Ferrari had a challenging season, struggling with an inconsistent car and falling to fourth in the standings. They did manage to secure a win in Singapore, but it was Carlos Sainz who took the victory, not Leclerc. Leclerc’s performance improved in the second half of the season after the introduction of a revised floor. He achieved five consecutive front-row starts and three podium finishes. However, Leclerc admits that Ferrari still has work to do to become a consistent threat to Red Bull. Despite this, he ended the season on a positive note with good tire management and renewed confidence for next year.
