Leclerc: “There will be more to come from Ferrari”

Despite his brilliant finish at the Bahrain GP, ​​which confirmed that Ferrari is once again the protagonist of F1, Charles Leclerc has stated that he has not yet found the perfect driving style required for F1-75.

The 10th pole position of Monegasque’s career for tomorrow’s (20/3) Bahrain GP is perhaps the most important as it is his first, accompanied by realistic hopes of winning the Formula 1 Championship for himself and Ferrari.

Leclerc admitted he wasn’t happy with his ride until his superb final lap in Q3 and believed RBR and Max Ferstappen would be the ones to win pole position at Shakir.

“I wasn’t entirely happy with my ride, but I managed to set this lap Q3 and so we start from pole so I’m very happy”said Monegasque. “Even in qualifying we were almost certain that Red Bull would be faster than us. But it’s a good surprise that this didn’t happen.

It is a great feeling. The last two years have been incredibly difficult for the team. We hoped for everythingWhat [οι νέοι κανονισμοί] It was an opportunity to get back on top. “I think we’ve worked very well as a team to get better places and I’m very happy today.” completed.

He continued that Ferrari has not yet shown its full potential: “In terms of driving technique, a lot is different than last year. The tests have helped us a lot in that direction, I’ve tried many different riding styles and I’m still trying to find the perfect one. “No doubt I hope there is much more to come from our side.”

Speaking about tomorrow’s first GP of 2022, he concluded: “Now we have to finish the two days successfully. Tomorrow’s fight will not be easy. Tire wear is an issue here – and especially with this year’s weight gain [των μονοθεσίων]. So we have to focus on that and I hope that tomorrow we will have a good fight.

Carlos Saint also made great progress in today’s qualifying tests after struggling with free throws. The Spaniard in particular stated: “I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made in these two days – I was very wide, more than half a second. So even pole position was good for me. “It’s worth it, Charles was all day up front and pole position is worth it.”

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?

The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.

On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.

Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.

The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.

After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”

When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:

“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”
