Charles Leclerc conceded ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix that wet
weather remains a weakness for Ferrari, detailing it as an area its
"really struggling". The Monegasque qualified in third at
Spa-Francorchamps in dry conditions; however, race day has already
been tormented by persistent rainfall. Formula 3 failed to truly
get underway, with its feature race having been red-flagged and not
restated whilst behind the safety car. Formula 2 did manage to
complete its feature race, which also took place in wet
conditions. Several drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, have
already been confirmed for pit lane starts, allowing a change to a
fully wet setup. Rain has been a big problem for Ferrari all
season, with Leclerc having been helpless during the wet British
Grand Prix. He noted after qualifying that his expectations for
the race will only be decided following the opening laps, once he
has understood how his car behaves. "Wet weather, we were speaking
about it in the last race weekend," said Leclerc. "I don't think
it's a strength for our car at the moment. "We are really
struggling. But having said that, every weekend is different. We'll
learn from the past and see what's possible tomorrow. "I will only
be able to tell after the first few laps to see where we are. But
I'll try to look forward before looking in mirrors."
