Leclerc hopeful Ferrari can replicate Singapore pace in Japan
Ferrari had a strong performance at Monza, winning pole position and leading in the early stages. They were unsure about their performance on high-downforce circuits but dominated all practice sessions in Singapore. Carlos Sainz secured another pole position and led every lap to end Ferrari’s win drought. Leclerc believes their success in Singapore needs to be replicated at Suzuka to show consistency. Ferrari’s win was aided by Red Bull’s struggles, but Leclerc expects them to bounce back in Japan. He acknowledges that he has been lagging behind Sainz in the past two races and is focused on improving his own performance. Leclerc trusts the leadership of team boss Frederic Vasseur and believes Ferrari is heading in the right direction, though he doesn’t expect all their problems to be solved in just two races.
