Formula 1 | Leclerc realist: “We won't fight for the world championship”

In a chat given to the columns of CodeSport, Charles Leclerc he excluded one Ferrari fighting for the world championship with Red Bull e Mercedes, highlighting how the current technical regulation prevents the Rossa from making all the changes necessary to make the project "winning" SF21. According to what was declared by the Monegasque driver, the Maranello stable it was based on last year's technical package, an aspect which obviously did not allow the technicians to fill the entire gap felt by the top teams.

This year's objective will therefore be to maximize performance on the track and compete for third place in the constructors' championship Alpine, Aston Martin, McLaren e Aston Martin, obviously keeping an eye on the developments for the "revolutionary" single-seater that will take to the track starting from the next World Championship formula 1.

“It's still very early to talk about the car's performance,” explained the Monegasque. “When I was talking about bringing back the Ferrari at the top it was a medium/long term objective. I wasn't referring directly to the 2021 season. The technical regulations full of limitations prevent us from doing what we want on the single-seater. This year's SF21 is not a revolution, but rather an evolution of SF1000".

About testing in Bahrain Instead he stated: “It wasn't easy to do everything in just three days, but the teams are in the same situation. I think we made the most of this time on the track, completing several kilometres. Less than usual, but still many. We did everything we could and it was the best preparation possible."
