Charles Leclerc believes he still has a chance to win the Formula 1 drivers’ championship but is focusing on Ferrari’s quest for the constructors’ title. A recent Ferrari one-two at the United States Grand Prix narrowed the gap to Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings to 79 points. Leclerc acknowledges that a strong finish to the season could bring him closer to contention, although he admits luck will play a significant role. Ferrari is now chasing McLaren in the constructors’ battle, with Leclerc emphasizing the importance of team success over individual glory for the remaining races. The team’s main focus is on maximizing performance and aiming for the constructors’ crown as an optimistic yet achievable goal. Leclerc remains hopeful but realistic, prepared to fight until the championship possibilities are mathematically exhausted.
