Charles Leclerc satisfied with the tests carried out so far: “Tests never smooth, nice to have no problems. We didn’t get the best out of the F1-75: we know how much faster we can go, but not the real potential expressed by Red Bull and Mercedes”
A whispered satisfaction, not yet shouted in a loud voice out of prudence. This is the one that transpires from the words of Charles Leclerc during the final day of the last pre-season test session of F1, in Bahrain. “The Ferrari F1-75 went well, it did not suffer from any problems, we are reliable and we were able to do many laps without problems, and it is something that also helps us drivers: it was certainly one of the smoothest pre-season tests we have. never had – says the Monegasque from Maranello -. With such an important project, you would expect problems, but apart from porpoising, which we are facing well, we have not had any “.

The Monegasque in terms of performance and hypothetical hierarchies, however, was not unbalanced: “I cannot say much about the pace of our car, because we still do not have a precise idea: we have certainly not yet obtained 100% from the car and we will need some time. We know how much faster we can go with our car, but we don’t know much about our rivals – continues Leclerc -: Red Bull has brought a new package to the track and Mercedes has certainly not shown its full potential, so we have to be careful ” .

Finally, two considerations on the difficulties that the new single-seaters could present in the tortuous circuits and on the possibility of replacing the Russian GP, canceled from the calendar after the invasion of Ukraine. “The new single-seaters at low speeds are difficult because they develop a lot of load at high speeds and in the tortuous sections they will be difficult because you feel the greater weight – says Leclerc -. On which track would I like the Russian GP to be replaced? realistic: Macau or a location in Africa “.
