🗣 'This year we have a car that is much more wind sensitive, and we are struggling much more with that.' Charles Leclerc was left frustrated by the lack of consistency of the Ferrari SF-23 after a disappointing MiamiGP for the F1 team ⬇️
Leclerc started only seventh after his crash in qualifying, and in a race not impacted by safety cars, he finished in the same position 52.9 seconds behind winner Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
“I was speaking just now with Carlos and what we are lacking is consistency from the car,” he said when asked by Autosport about his difficult afternoon. “Other than that, for some reason this is off because it is not something I have had for the rest of the weekend so we’ll have to check the car, but I had a lot of bottoming especially in high speeds which is something I can’t quite explain, because I didn’t have that yesterday. So this we’ll have a look at in the data.”Leclerc said the car was just as tricky on both the medium and hard tyre compounds: “It was the same.
An extra frustration for Ferrari is that a change of approach for the Australian Grand Prix saw very strong race pace from Sainz, but that now appears to have been a one-off.
