Ferrari has not enjoyed the successful season it was hoping for at the start of the year.
Charles Leclerc has acknowledged that Ferrari is unlikely to beat McLaren in terms of pure speed at any of the remaining Formula 1 tracks this year. McLaren has been dominant with 11 wins in the first 14 races, leading the championship standings by a significant margin. Despite being winless, Ferrari currently holds the second position in the constructors’ championship. Leclerc emphasized that McLaren is consistently the strongest team this season, with no track where Ferrari feels they have an advantage over them. The battle for the runner-up position is primarily between Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull, but McLaren remains the favorite at every event according to Leclerc. He hopes for some pleasant surprises in the upcoming races despite the tough competition from McLaren.
