Ferrari junior Arthur Leclerc, Charles’ brother, spent a day driving a Ferrari Roma through the streets of Manama, Bahrain capital, ahead of his latest feats out on the track:
“It’s in my nature to always push whenever I can. I wont settle for a place if I realise I can do better with the car Ive been given. You immediately get the torque from the engine & you can feel the true extent of the sporty nature of the V8. I selected ‘Esc-Off’, which de-activates electronic aids, and had some fun controlling the car with some counter-steering. Even then, the car follows the driver’s input with its precise steering, making it feel really safe at all times. I really had fun with it.”
Driving the Roma, he says, “was a whole new experience”, making the young racer realise “just how versatile a Prancing Horse car can feel. In the corners, the steering feels pretty much as precise as in a single-seater, so that I almost felt like I was at the wheel of my Formula 3 car,” he said.
