Leclerc had a difficult Friday in Belgium. The Monegasque finished the first session sixth and then fourth in the second session, but Ferrari have a clear gap to the Top 3 at the moment. The Monegasque driver is hoping for improvement for the rest of the weekend, but he also acknowledges that it may be difficult to make the necessary jump.
Ferrari's team are going through a difficult period with missing out on the podium spots multiple times. Since Monaco, the only time a Ferrari driver stepped on the podium was when Lando Norris and Max Verstappen collided in Austria, and therefore, Carlos Sainz finished third.
Friday in Belgium also ended up being a struggle for Leclerc. As such, he was not at all satisfied, the driver said so in the press release of Ferrari. "A difficult day to understand, running with various set ups and tyres, with all the teams on their own run plans," Leclerc said.
Leclerc also unsure
Still, Leclerc does hope there is more for the Italian racing team this weekend. "We don’t yet have a clear picture and with the expectation of rain tomorrow and dry conditions on Sunday, we will work to find the best compromise to extract the maximum on both days. It’s our last race before the holidays, so we will give it everything to finish it on a high."
