Charles Leclerc has identified a significant weakness he wants Ferrari to address, having been hindered by this issue for much of the season.
The Monegasque driver is currently second in the drivers’ championship after a strong start, which includes five podium finishes and a victory in Monaco. However, he faced a major setback with a DNF in Canada last Sunday.
Ferrari is also competitive in the constructors’ championship, sitting 49 points behind Red Bull in second place, having secured two wins this season.
Despite this, Leclerc believes the SF-24 car is underperforming in long, slow corners, such as those in sector one in China or Turns 9 and 10 in Bahrain.
“I still believe that one of our weaknesses is the long, slow speed corners; we struggled quite a bit in China because of that,” Leclerc told the media, including RacingNews365.
“This is still an area that we need to work on with the car – so I will say it is the main issue to address, but it is not only that.”
Leclerc’s insight underscores the importance of improving the car’s performance in specific areas to maintain competitiveness throughout the season.
