Leclerc is looking for the way: “We are making progress, but slowly. For Qualifying I have an idea of ​​what to change”

Good but not great It wasn’t an easy Saturday at Silverstone for Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque battled for a long time in the positions close to the podium with the various Verstappen, Russell and Piastri and in the end he crossed the finish line in fifth position, losing one place compared to what was the result of yesterday’s qualifying, also thanks to a terrible start. The hope for Ferrari’s ‘second driver’ (this is what the ranking says at the moment) is to be able to find a better feeling in view of this afternoon’s qualifying, which could help him straighten out yet another uphill weekend so far. “Little by little we find things that I’m not comfortable with and we take steps forward – Leclerc declared to Sky Sport F1 after the conclusion of the Sprint – unfortunately (this process) takes more time than I would like. Today (the situation) was a little better in the race, but at the beginning I pushed a lot on the rear tires so after that we were lacking a bit. But in general I didn’t introduce the tire well to the race, also due to a very bad start.” What to change “For this afternoon I have a good idea of ​​what to change – Leclerc then commented – and if we take a step forward I’m confident that we can also bring this step forward to other circuits because it’s more of a different philosophy than anything else. I’m confident that it will get better, the better we see it.”
