Charles Leclerc said in Barcelona on Thursday that the team did not expect a major breakthrough from the novelties presented this weekend, but hoped they would take a step in the right direction…
Charles Leclerc: “Honestly, we don’t expect miracles from new products, but we hope we make progress every race from now on. It is important to make sure that we have chosen the right direction for further development and then move forward gradually.
At the moment our machine is only really efficient in a very limited number of settings. In a fast qualifying lap with the new tires she behaves very well, lets you attack and fight for pole position. But when we get out of these conditions, it loses a lot of downforce.
We have dealt with this problem a lot. The effect should be. Maybe not very big, but the car should become more stable over the distance, which should give better results on Sunday.
The circuit in Barcelona is the best to judge all aspects of the car. It is great that we can try our new products here, assess the progress made and possible weaknesses.”
