Scuderia Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc has shared his thoughts after a mediocre performance by the Maranello-based team in Barcelona. Ferrari finished P5 and P6 in the Spanish Grand Prix despite having good pace around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The Italian outfit has been one of the most convincing teams on the grid this season, winning two races and scoring a total of nine podiums across ten races. However, the Fred Vasseur-led team has not been up to par as of late, having scored only 18 points since their extravagant win in Monaco.

McLaren, on the other hand, has capitalized on the poor string of performances by Ferrari and is only 33 points behind them in the constructors’.

Ferrari had good pace coming into the race on Sunday despite having a poor run in Q3, where they managed to chart times good enough for P5 and P6. However, the race on Sunday showed no improvements in their grid starts, as they finished the race in the same position.

The Maranello-based team now finds themselves in a difficult position despite having a strong start to the season in which they appeared as one of the fastest on the grid. But the current scenario entails that Ferrari needs to conjure something special to battle the brilliant likes of Red Bull and McLaren.
