In Canada, both Ferrari drivers withdrew from the race, but what is much more unpleasant for the team and its fans, they were inferior to their main rivals in terms of speed. After retirement, Charles Leclerc mentioned the weaknesses of the SF-24, which the team continues to work on eliminating.
Charles Leclerc: “I still think that one of our weaknesses remains the efficiency of the car in long and slow corners. We have to keep working on this part of the car because it is the biggest problem that needs to be solved, but it is not the only problem.
There are still many small details that need to be taken care of. Only a new aerodynamic body kit with more downforce and less resistance on the straights will not close the gap. Like I said, if there’s one area you need to improve on, it’s the speed in the slow, long corners.
In the worst case we are talking about a delay of two and a half tenths. That’s why we have to keep working on the little things. If we optimize the car and add a tenth, this will be enough to close half the gap.”
