Scuderia Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc admited that he continues to be surprised by the Maranello team’s early season pace and described his impressive championship advantage “crazy” after a dominant win in today’s Australian Grand Prix, round three of the 2022 Formula 1 championship.
The Ferrari driver was in control throughout Sunday’s race at the Albert Park Circuit with the speed of the F1-75 car giving him the possibility to create a solid gap over the Red Bull cars before his title rival Max Verstappen was forced to retire, as the Monegasque driver had no opponent in the final stages of the Melbourne event, eventually taking the chequered flag by over 20 seconds ahead of Sergio Perez.
Scuderia Ferrari, meanwhile, have once again showed they are back after the difficult 2020 and 2021 Formula 1 seasons: “Obviously last year was a very difficult year for us but this year we have managed, well actually the team has managed because I only give feedback of what I want from the car,” stated Charles Leclerc at the end of the 2022 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
Next up for the championship leaders is a home race at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in two-weeks’ time, as the Imola circuit is ready to welcome back their dominant Ferrari team. Charles Leclerc is definitely the man of the moment and he is certainly going to get the biggest of welcomes by the Italian crowd as Ferrari looks to make it a memorable weekend in Italy: “It is going to be crazy, I mean Italy for us it is always incredible and I can’t wait to be there. On the other hand, we don’t need to arrive there with the mindset of trying to do more because we have been doing incredibly well since the beginning and we don’t want to try and overdo that for a home race. So we need to try and manage that in the best way possible. It is always tense but I just try to not think too much about where we are.” – the Monegasque driver continued.

“Although the grandstand will look a bit different to here with some more red, we will just try and focus on the job and not on where we are either in the Championship or location.” – Scuderia Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc concluded.
