After two races of the season, Charles Leclerc is 36 points behind leader Max Verstappen in the individual classification. However, before the start of the race weekend in Melbourne, the Ferrari driver announced that the battle for the title was not yet over for him.
Charles Leclerc: “The title this year is very possible, as it is only the beginning of the season. We cannot fool ourselves by saying that everything is fine and this weekend we will fight for the win. We have to be realistic and admit that we are now far from the form we want to be in, this does not mean that the team should demotivate itself.
The season is long, we have plans to update the car in the next races. I hope the new items close the gap with the Red Bull, who are in a different class. The Aston Martin car is also very fast in racing, so we have to keep working, and we know that very well. But this does not mean that the battle for the title is already over, because there are still many races to come.
