Charles Leclerc says Ferrari’s first significant upgrade of the 2023 Formula 1 season “should go in the right direction” to close the Italian team’s performance gap to Red Bull.Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said after last weekend’s event in Baku that his squad intended to, with further additional early-season tweaks to the SF-23 package expected at the following few rounds.
This would come after Ferrari only made circuit-specific tweaks, plus minor front wing and floor updates for Jeddah, during the opening three races of the season. Ferrari had hoped to close on Red Bull over the 2022 off-season by altering its car concept to favour straightline gains over cornering speed but, instead, the gap has increased.
Like its predecessor the F1-75, the SF-23 can rival the Red Bull over a single lap, with Leclerc topping both qualifying sessions last time out, but cannot compete over race distances without destroying its tyres. Appearing in the press conference ahead of this weekend’s Miami race, Leclerc was asked to offer his thoughts on how Ferrari’s planned upgrade might alter that situation at the Scuderia.“I don’t think it will be enough to fight with them, but it will go in the right direction, I’m sure.” , then trailed both Red Bulls home in the main race – being overtaken easily in each event thanks to his rivals’ straightline prowess and potent DRS arrangement.
