Charles Leclerc, dissatisfied with the SF-24 in the Emilia Romagna classification: “We have to improve”


Despite leading the first two sessions of the weekend, Charles Leclerc finished far from Max Verstappen, who despite the maximum equality, ended up taking pole. Ahead of the Monegasque were also both McLarens, who seem to be clear candidates for Sunday’s race, and even more so with a Ferrari that cannot find the rhythm in the first sector.

Turns 2 and 3, enemies of Ferrari

While some drivers choose to attack the curbs a lot, the Monegasque admits not knowing how to make the first corners of the circuit to get the most out of a nervous SF-24 when going over the track limits. A problem that is not only on the lips of the Italians during this weekend, but rather, has been going on for a few races now.

If we add to this a circuit where the wind has also been another of the protagonists, they form a mixture where it is evident that It has not been easy to drive the SF-24 for the Ferrari drivers, especially in the first sector, where they lost up to 3 tenths with the best times of Max Verstappen.

Both Carlos and I were close, but we don’t understand what we are missing in turns 2 and 3 or in the first sector. Tire preparation is important, but it’s just that weird. “We have tried many things,” said the Ferrari driver.

“But it’s always the same problem on the same curves. We will analyze this aspect again, It is not something that we do not know and that we are discovering now, we have been struggling for some GPs and we have to improve“he continued.

“We know that one of Red Bull’s strengths is how much they can push the curbs. . I don’t know how much Max takes the curbs in turns 2 and 3, I know that the previous weekends he took them a lot”concluded Charles Leclerc.

This is how the Ferrari driver wanted to expose the difficulties of the Italian car in the first part of the Imola circuit, which has deprived them of being able to fight for a pole for Max Verstappen that is more even than ever.
