Ferrari’s Ambition for the Constructors’ Championship

Charles Leclerc is brimming with optimism as Ferrari pursues the constructors’ championship, expressing that the team's current motivation is at an all-time high. The Monegasque driver is hopeful about closing the gap on McLaren, adeptly stating that consistent performance is the key to their success.

Recent Performance Impact

After an impressive showing in Austin, where Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz finished in a commanding one-two position, Ferrari has narrowed the points deficit, sitting only eight points behind second-placed Red Bull. However, they trail McLaren by a considerable margin of 48 points, making it essential for them to maximize their performance in the remaining races.

Leclerc's Confidence Ahead of Mexico City Grand Prix

Leclerc’s confidence shines through as he evaluates the upcoming Mexico City Grand Prix, mentioning that the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez has the potential to be a favorable circuit for Ferrari “on paper.” Despite the unpredictability of the season, he anticipates that with strategic efforts, especially during Free Practice 2, they can extract maximum points.

Strategizing for the Race

“It’s quite challenging to predict race outcomes,” the 27-year-old admitted. “While we performed exceptionally in Austin, we were a bit more vulnerable during qualifying. Mexico should theoretically suit our car. The goal is to keep focusing on our performance and strive for the best outcomes.”

Maintaining Performance in Remaining Races

With only five races remaining, Leclerc is determined to capitalize on Ferrari's previous performances. Notably, he has secured victories in two of the last four races and has consistently gathered solid points, illustrating the team's improved reliability and focus. “We must sustain our consistent performance and aim for maximum points against our competitors,” Leclerc stated confidently.

Teamwork and Commitment from Carlos Sainz

Carlos Sainz echoes Leclerc’s sentiments, emphasizing that Ferrari's chances depend significantly on how well their car fits the characteristics of the next five tracks. He acknowledges McLaren as a formidable competitor but is committed to battling for every point until the season's end.

The Road Ahead

With the constructors' title still within reach, both drivers recognize the importance of teamwork and unwavering focus as they gear up for the challenges ahead in Mexico City and beyond.
