Ferrari handed Suzuka challenge by Leclerc in Red Bull pursuit
Charles Leclerc is challenging Ferrari to have a solid performance for the rest of the Japanese Grand Prix weekend in order to catch up to Red Bull. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen dominated the practice sessions on Friday, and Ferrari is looking to bounce back from their loss to Red Bull in Singapore. Ferrari tested a new floor during practice, aimed at improving airflow, and Leclerc finished fourth and then second in the sessions. Despite not expecting a significant performance gain from the new floor, Leclerc sees it as a positive step and believes they need to build on their recent progress to close the gap to Red Bull. He also mentioned that they have a better understanding of the car compared to previous races, but they still need to keep pushing and continue making improvements.
