“We need to catch up in terms of overall performance” – Charles Leclerc. Charles' view at the end of FP2.

Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc comments and impressions after the first two practice session ahead of the 2020 Austrian GP:

“It’s good to be back in the car after a long pause but on the other hand it wasn’t an easy day for us so it was difficult to enjoy it fully. All the cars are very close, which is exciting to see on the one hand, but on the other hand, we would like to be fighting a bit nearer the front. The balance of the car is not that bad, we need to catch up in terms of overall performance. The lack of pace is not down to any one thing in particular so we’ll try different ways for tomorrow and see if we can gain some performance. Qualifying will be good for the show, as there are quite a lot of teams all close together. We’ll be fighting very hard and it’s crucial we make the right choice tonight to come back with a stronger car tomorrow.” – Charles Leclerc concluded.
