Leclerc’s team radio worries the Tifosi: Ferrari’s Dutch GP weekend starts uphill

The Dutch Grand Prix weekend has not started in the best possible way for Ferrari, as confirmed by a team radio message from Charles Leclerc that immediately raised concerns among the Tifosi. The return from the summer break is proving tougher than expected for the Scuderia from Maranello. During the first free practice session at Zandvoort, Charles Leclerc delivered a radio message that left Ferrari supporters worried about the team’s prospects.

The Monegasque driver finished the morning session in fourteenth place, just ahead of his new teammate, but he did not seem pleased with the setup choices made by the team. The gap to McLaren already looks insurmountable, with Lando Norris more than one and a half seconds quicker than Charles Leclerc’s red number 16 Ferrari.

This disappointing performance led Charles Leclerc to express his frustration over the radio to his engineers, making clear what was on his mind. “For me, we should focus more on what we are doing right now. We are so far off, really far,” said the Monegasque driver in his message to the pit wall.

Those words immediately worried the Tifosi of the Prancing Horse, who are already bracing themselves for another weekend that could be filled with struggles and short on excitement. The hope, of course, is that things can improve during the afternoon sessions and continue to get better over the rest of the weekend.
