Leclerc: “I don’t know if ADUO will be enough to reach Mercedes”

Leclerc reflects on Miami After the Miami race Charles Leclerc took responsibility for missing out on the podium, admitting that he had made mistakes that did not allow him to maximize the potential of his Ferrari. Even in Montreal the Monegasque returned to that daring end to the race – in which he was also penalised: “We paid the price for attacking too much in Miami. We have to analyze the mistake and learn, it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. I always try to push as hard as I can and this has always been my approach. Losing a potential third or fourth place and finishing eighth after the penalty hurts. It’s not easy, but it’s part of the sport and we have to look forward.” Ferrari and ADUO Deficient from an automotive point of view, Ferrari patiently awaits the FIA’s pronouncement after the Canadian GP weekend with the document that will reveal which power unit manufacturers will be able to use ADUO in its various levels. La Rossa makes no secret of waiting with confidence for the possibility of progressing on the engine side. Leclerc explained: “I think Mercedes has a very big advantage. I don’t know yet if we will have the ADUO, but I would be surprised if that wasn’t the case because on the straights we lack a bit of power compared to the Mercedes engine and also the Ford engine.”
However, Leclerc doesn’t seem to have great illusions: “It will be a help to try to get closer, but I don’t know if it will be enough to close the gap. It depends on the level we reach, if we manage to reach it.” Click here to add Formula Passion as your favorite source on Google Discover: you will find our content more easily!
