Charles Leclerc, the six-time Grand Prix winner, has not had the best of times since triumphing at the Monaco GP. He has been dealing with one issue or the other and his last week’s outing at the Red Bull Ring also turned out to be one to forget.

Charles Leclerc finished the event out of the points-scoring positions (P11) but while he’s having a tough time, there has been no lack of support from Maranello. The Monegasque was recently greeted with a huge banner by the fans in the city.

The ardent fans downright adore Leclerc as Ferrari’s F1 driver! 

Win or lose. Ferrari must be loved. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Leclerc forever one of us.

Looking at the short but deep message, this will give Leclerc an immense boost going ahead into the rest of the 2024 season. It is always a proud moment for a driver when he receives so much love from the fans, in Silverstone, the 26-year-old will be itching to pay some of the love back to his fans.

Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari will ‘keep pushing’ after tough Austria outing

While Leclerc has been greeted with huge support in Maranello, the personnel at Ferrari are hard at work behind the scenes. Moreover, team principal, Fred Vasseur has also confirmed that the outfit will keep coming up with new ideas to improve performance.

The SF-24 in recent races, has proved to be the fourth fastest car on the grid.

I think Silverstone will be useful for us. We have ideas in the pipeline, we have improvements to implement later on, but we won't change the approach and we will keep pushing.

The ongoing campaign is 11 rounds down and Ferrari is currently second in the constructors championship with 291 points. The gap to Red Bull is not huge (355) and if the team can get things right for Silverstone, it will give Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz a tremendous boost for the three-day British GP outing. The Italian outfit is expected to lock horns at the extreme front end after a difficult spell.
