Charles Leclerc admits that he’s now “feeling more comfortable” with Ferrari’s 2023 Formula 1 car but warns a greater performance
Ferrari’s hopes for a sustained F1 title bid have been hindered by the inconsistent SF-23 car that Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have struggled to harness. However, Sainz’s recent pole positions and race victory in Monza and Singapore indicate a positive turnaround after being granted the opportunity to pursue a new setup direction. Leclerc, who initially struggled with the car’s handling, has shown improvement and outqualified Sainz in the past four races. Despite frustrations, the progress made throughout the season has given Leclerc confidence that Ferrari is moving in the right direction to compete at the top, with plans for a “brand new” car in 2024. The team’s overall competitiveness and the work done in the second part of the season confirm this positive trajectory.
