Charles Leclerc posted only a 19th fastest time in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix and complained about the car’s poor handling after the session. On Sunday, Jock Clea, Ferrari’s chief race engineer, said mechanics Charles are rebuilding the rear of the car and replacing the gearbox, so the Monegask will start from the pit lane.
“After qualifying on the last row, we were, subconsciously, given the chance to look at a lot of things and think about everything,” Jock Klia quotes Racefans as saying. – In qualifying, Charles felt uncomfortable driving from the first laps and lacked confidence in the car.
As a result, we decided to take the opportunity and replace his gearbox. In fact, we are rebuilding the entire rear of the car for him to make sure he has no issues with it.
In the race Charles gets a new SF-23 rear, which should give him confidence in the car, but he will have to start from the pit lane. However, we hope that he can earn points.”
