Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc declares that “we all need to be very honest” about the team’s situation after Ferrari chairman John Elkann’s comments on future chances for race victories:
“The President wanted to address the fans and everyone in motorsport in a transparent way, explaining the current situation within the team at the moment. And I think that was important.” – Charles said – “The most important thing in times like this is to be honest, first to ourselves obviously and also to the people that are supporting us. That was exactly the message. We know how hard everyone is working in the paddock and also the other teams so once we are down on performance and then to recover this performance takes time. Everyone is working, nobody is on holidays in the paddock so yeah it is going to take time. Everyone at Scuderia Ferrari is pushing to the maximum to react to the current state of affairs.”” – the Monegasque driver explaiend.
“Despite the difficulties, I have to say that neither myself nor the team are frustrated, but rather we want to work together, united and motivated to try and make the SF1000 more competitive, both for this season and the next one. As we saw with the upgrades we brought to Austria for the 2nd race, the guys in Maranello are doing their utmost and Seb and I can only do the same in trying to give them as accurate feedback as possible which will be useful to correct the car’s weak points” – Charles Leclerc concluded.
