Leclerc: You shouldn't expect a Ferrari miracle

But the Monegasque has come to terms with it. “There will be no quick resurgence for Ferrari,” said the Formula 1 driver in an interview with the newspaper The World (Friday) in cooperation with the Italian La Repubblica . His job is to help “keep this difficult phase as short as possible.” In the middle of the year, Ferrari boss John Elkann had already said that the Scuderia would not compete for victories again until 2022. In the current season, Leclerc and especially his German teammate Sebastian Vettel are far away from the actual demands of the traditional Italian team. Leclerc is in eighth place, Vettel is only 13th in the World Cup rankings. In the constructors' championship, Ferrari is sixth out of ten teams in just over a week before the race premiere in Portimão. “In terms of performance, it will be difficult to do miracles with this car in 2021.” Charles Leclerc Leclerc, who turned 23 on Friday, expects something similar from next season, as nothing will fundamentally change in the cars. “In terms of performance, it will be difficult to do miracles with this car in 2021,” he said. Next year, Leclerc will no longer drive in a team with Vettel; the four-time world champion is moving to the future Aston Martin racing team. The 33-year-old's contract with Ferrari was not extended; he will be replaced by the Spanish McLaren driver Carlos Sainz Junior.
