“I can say with confidence that I have taken a step forward – Leclerc said precisely on the topic related to his relationship with the SF-26 – I am not yet at the performance level I aspire to, there are still aspects of the car that I have to manage by adapting my driving style. I can’t drive completely naturally and this slows me down in some phases of the race; so, there is still work to be done to improve. However, it was undoubtedly a step forward and I am happy about it. I will continue to approach one race at a time because, with these cars, it is difficult to take for granted that a good weekend will be replicated in the next one: everything depends on minimal details. Depending on how you drive, it is never guaranteed to get the same power delivery from one lap to another, and maybe this is exactly the frustrating aspect of these cars.”
