Scuderia Ferrari finally has a car capable of competing with its opponents without having to worry too much about tire management. The SF-24 single-seater is a much better car than its predecessor, the SF-23, despite the fact that it still lacks the overall speed to challenge Red Bull for race wins. It’s a lengthy process nonetheless, and the Maranello team is still making strides forward. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, for their part, always give their best with what they have available, and already this year, during the Bahrain Grand Prix, they had the opportunity to fight for a place on the podium, also due to the brake issues experienced by the Monegasque during the Bahrain race.
“We always try to fight on the edge – admitted Charles Leclerc. Obviously, we must bear in mind that Ferrari comes before everything else; we cannot take unnecessary risks. As for me, in Bahrain, I wasn’t in a position to fight properly because I had significant issues to manage, but ultimately it’s about finding a balance and sometimes it might happen to go a bit beyond the limit and be a bit too aggressive.” – the Monegasque pointed out.
“We discuss it after the race; we’ve always done it in these years, but I don’t remember any moment where a problem arose between us. It’s a good thing and it should always be like this, and honestly, I have no doubts about it because we have a great relationship even outside the car. We are very open and honest with ourselves; we talk often. You have to find a balance, and we have succeeded, I believe.” – Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc concluded.
