Charles Leclerc performed well in the first two practice sessions of the year, finishing third in the first, and in the second he emerged as the fastest driver. And with great determination.
Because the Ferrari driver managed to overtake both McLarens in FP2, and finishing ahead of the secret favorite is never a bad recommendation. Leclerc doesn't make a big deal out of it, but...
“It was really good. We managed to prepare perfectly for the second free practice session because the car was very easy to drive and felt great. Of course, there are still things we need to adjust and improve, for example, I am not completely satisfied with the balance, but in any case we are much better than in Bahrain, in the tests. I would like to stay off the ground, but after a day like this, I am really looking forward to tomorrow and trying to aim for pole position!
However, it is important to highlight that we still have not seen the real performance from the others. Some hide more, some less, but McLaren will definitely be at the top. We see Red Bull suffering at the moment, but they are Red Bull Racing, you never know with them... Especially with Max Verstappen, who it would be a big mistake to write off at any time, I am sure they will be tough opponents, as will Mercedes. An exciting day awaits us!” - said Charles Leclerc with gentle confidence.
