Leclerc: Red Bull form a mystery after it hid potential in F1 testing
Red Bull’s RB20 displayed impressive pace during the testing in Sakhir, although they focused more on shorter stints rather than full race simulations, unlike many other teams. Ferrari’s SF-24 also showed promise, with a strong race simulation by Carlos Sainz, but Leclerc remains cautious about drawing conclusions. Ferrari’s analysis suggests Red Bull may have deliberately not revealed their true performance level during testing. Leclerc mentioned the difficulty in assessing their competitiveness against Red Bull, as Red Bull did not conduct a full race simulation as most other teams did. Despite uncertainties, Leclerc is encouraged by Ferrari’s improved pre-season compared to last year, focusing on areas for improvement in the SF-24 to potentially challenge for wins.
