Ferrari had deemed a great start to the 2024 season and was closely following Red Bull’s dominant pace. However, the Italian constructor faced massive struggles mid-way through the campaign and has since lost performance. Hence, speaking upon this, Charles Leclerc laments the disappointing chassis performance as he wished for a winning car.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz each scored a race victory before the struggles started. Leclerc’s Monaco win was followed up with disappointing performances over the next race weekends. The major package upgrade introduced in the Emilia Romagna GP is believed to be the issue in the chassis.
Regardless, Leclerc noted that the team wasn’t in the desired place mid-way through the 2024 season. The Monegasque reiterated that Scuderia’s crew was working hard despite the disappointment. Hence, the 26-year-old hoped for a ‘bright future’ ahead. Subsequently, Leclerc didn’t hesitate to point out that he wished for a winning car from Ferrari.
For now we are not yet where we want to be in terms of performance, but we are working hard. I am confident that the future is bright. But for sure I wish we had a winning car.Charles Leclerc told the Gentleman’s Journal
