Charles Leclerc has vowed to "give everything" until the end, as he
explained the importance of fresh upgrades for Ferrari. After a
relatively slow start to the season, Leclerc has scored three
podiums in the last five races, including a second in Monaco and
third in Spain - two tracks which demand vastly different
performance characteristics. Ferrari has been battling balance and
ride height problems with its SF-25, but Leclerc and team-mate
Lewis Hamilton have climbed into second place in the constructors'
championship, albeit 197 points behind runaway leaders McLaren.
Whilst Leclerc concedes "on paper" it will be hard to defeat
McLaren, he has insisted Ferrari must continue to strive and try to
"take the lead" in its performances on-track. "I don't want to be
thinking so long term, just because I have no visibility," Leclerc
explained when questioned on his goals for the rest of the season
by RacingNews365. "I know what is going to come for us in terms of
small adjustments and improvements on the car, but I don't know
what is coming for other teams, so it is very difficult to predict
or expect anything. "On paper, it is going to be a tough one to go
and beat McLaren in a year like this, where they've been dominant
for the first part of the season, it will be very tough, but I will
give everything until the end. "Hopefully, with new parts, as soon
as possible, we can take the lead in terms of performance on track,
and then we can hope for better, but we cannot afford to lose too
many races."
