Leclerc: Ferrari has banished "worries" that spoiled 2023 testing
According to Charles Leclerc, the new SF-24 has shown promising performance on the track in Bahrain and has behaved similarly to the simulations used in Maranello.
Leclerc mentioned that the team is in a much better position compared to a year ago and has a solid foundation for further development.
He noted that the car’s performance is more consistent and easier to drive this year, indicating a positive starting point for improvement.
The car’s behavior aligning with the simulator’s predictions is seen as a positive sign for accelerating development and refining its competitiveness.
Despite the positive indicators, Leclerc emphasized that it is still early to determine the exact pecking order for the 2024 season, with Red Bull appearing strong based on initial impressions rather than concrete data.
