Leclerc can take back lead
Indeed, the Italian medium reports that Ferrari will travel to Spain with a brand new floor for the F1-75.

The pink newspaper does not know exactly what this package contains.
Gazzetta does report that the upgrades could probably provide a gain of three to four tenths per lap. This would probably allow Charles Leclerc to regain the lead over title rival Max Verstappen, who has won the past two Grands Prix in Imola and Miami.
