Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is optimistic about the upcoming Formula 1 races in Baku and Singapore, following his victory at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Although Ferrari still trails McLaren in terms of pace, Leclerc believes the team's performance is improving, especially with recent upgrades. He acknowledged that McLaren remains the favorite, but hinted that Baku and Singapore could be strong tracks for Ferrari. Leclerc's confidence stems from past successes at these circuits, where he has been highly competitive.
Leclerc's victory at Monza, achieved through a bold one-stop tire strategy, marked Ferrari's third win of the season and their first since his triumph in Monaco. Despite this success, Leclerc remains cautious, noting that while Ferrari has made significant progress, they still lag behind McLaren and Red Bull on most tracks. However, he is hopeful that Ferrari can continue to close the gap and possibly challenge for more wins in the remaining races.
As the season progresses, Leclerc's focus will be on maximizing Ferrari's potential at circuits where they have historically performed well. The upcoming races in Azerbaijan and Singapore present opportunities for the team to capitalize on their recent improvements and potentially secure more victories.
