Leclerc predicts quick end to Verstappen and Red Bull struggles
Charles Leclerc anticipates that Max Verstappen and Red Bull will regain their form on more conventional tracks once the F1 season resumes. Despite Red Bull’s recent performance dip, with Lando Norris and Leclerc shining in recent races, Verstappen managed to win at Imola but faced strong competition from Norris. Around Monaco, Red Bull’s weakness with kerbs was exposed, possibly indicating challenges ahead at the Canadian Grand Prix. Leclerc believes Red Bull will excel in Europe, where circuits will better suit their strengths, but is hopeful Ferrari can stay competitive and close the gap in the championship race. With Canada historically favoring Ferrari and the team’s gradual improvements, Leclerc and Carlos Sainz aim to challenge for victory and improve on last year’s results. They will focus on maximizing their performance against contenders like Red Bull and McLaren to achieve a stronger outcome than in previous seasons.
