Ferrari needs to focus on being at 'the peak of our tyres', says Leclerc, after a difficult Spanish GP weekend. F1
Charles Leclerc says Ferrari has to focus on being at “the peak of our tyres” after a disappointing Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix.Leclerc started from the pitlane in Barcelona after he qualified only 19th and the team opted to make changes to his car for the race.
"The first stint we had the hard, which we expected to be a good tyre, but for some reason, it was so bad," said Leclerc. "Then for some reason, the second hard I just do exactly the same thing and it feels really good. So for some reason, we seemed to never really get in the right window of the tyre and when we do it's a bit of a surprise to us. So there is a lot of work we need to do.
"Two or three degrees makes a huge difference on balance, and this weekend we've been struggling, getting completely outside the window or in the window and happy with the car. So there will be a lot of work on that."Leclerc insists that he didn't do anything different in the cockpit between the first and second stints, adding:"The thing is that we really did exactly the same thing on both tyre sets.
