Charles Leclerc believes everyone in Ferrari is motivated to beat Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship battle for second.
Charles Leclerc is confident that Ferrari can surpass Mercedes and secure second place in the Constructors’ Championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Despite being four points behind Mercedes, Ferrari has displayed stronger race results in recent Grands Prix, especially due to the Silver Arrows’ struggles in qualifying. George Russell predicts that Mercedes will be more competitive during the race, which is a concern for Leclerc, although Ferrari outscored them in 2022. Leclerc acknowledges that Mercedes has historically performed well in Abu Dhabi, so Ferrari needs to bring together all their strengths to fight and overcome them in the Constructors’ Championship. While Ferrari’s season did not meet their initial expectations, Leclerc believes that the motivation to beat Mercedes still drives the team, as they have had positive performances and everyone is highly motivated to achieve their goal. The momentum is on Ferrari’s side, but they are aware that the hard work remains on the track, and they will strive for perfection to outperform their rivals.
