The Italian Grand Prix weekend has got underway at the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Home favorites Ferrari have been pitted by the Juventus Football Club to win at Monza with Charles Leclerc as their driver.
Charles Leclerc is one of the most popular and talented names in the world of motorsport. He has amassed six Grand Prix wins in his career and is currently third in the 2024 drivers’ championship.
Leclerc was the choice of around ten footballers in Juventus upon being asked of their predictions for the Italian Grand Prix. The 26-year-old is the last driver for the Maranello-based team to win at Monza in 2019.
Ferrari has scored consecutive podiums since Spa and will be looking to carry forward its momentum this weekend as well. The new upgrades in the SF-24 are expected to provide Leclerc with the required pace in order to triumph at Monza.
Charles Leclerc doesn’t view Monza as a proper test for SF-24′ upgrades
Ferrari’s SF-24 heads into the Italian Grand Prix desperately needing to find greater pace against the likes of McLaren and Red Bull. Charles Leclerc has since shared his thoughts on the team’s advancements ahead of the race.
Let’s say that there were very specific characteristics of the car that we had to improve. I’m not going to go too much into details, and this is where those upgrades should help us. Then we’ll see, because I don’t think Monza is the best track to judge those upgrades. Probably Baku or Singapore will be more of a test for us, but it should go in the right direction anyway. But by how much, I don’t know yet.Charles Leclerc told PlanetF1.com
Leclerc claimed that the SF-24 needed improvements around certain sections which were hindering its performance. He, however, quickly pointed out that the temple of speed might not be suitable for the newer advancements to play their part.
The Maranello-based team has been winless since the Monaco Grand Prix this year. They will now hope to maximize their results and performances around the 5.793 km Monza racing circuit.
