“It will be difficult to win the title in 2021, but I believe in our success - every time I get in the car,” said the 23-year-old in an interview with Sky Sports on Thursday. Team boss Mattia Binotto remained more reserved and initially wants to at least lead the midfield with Leclerc and the Spaniard Carlos Sainz in the second cockpit. “Coming third is not completely impossible. “That has to be our minimum goal,” Binotto recently explained. “We have to be realistic but also optimistic” Charles Leclerc on his goals with Ferrari Leclerc formulated his demands more clearly: “We have to be realistic, but also optimistic. My job is to ensure that Ferrari wins titles as quickly as possible. It won’t be easy, but we have to believe in it,” said the Monegasque. Last season, Ferrari started with the SF1000 - because of the Reds' 1000th race in the premier class - and maximum ambitions. Sixth place in the constructors' championship was ultimately the worst result in 40 years. Leclerc talks about his relationship with Verstappen Leclerc also spoke about his rivalry with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. “As children we couldn’t stand each other. Now we are more mature and have made great progress. Verstappen is a good boy, but if we wear the helmet, it will be a competition like back in the kart races,” said Leclerc.
