Charles Leclerc can't imagine a result worst than Mexican GP for Ferrari

Charles Leclerc started the 2022 season on a high note but soon saw a decline in performance and his hopes to win the championship title fade away.

Ferrari amped up its car in the 2022 season which saw the Tifosi enjoy the battle at the front and hope to make a historic return to the winning ways.

However, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen soon dominated the season and left Leclerc to chase a P2 finish in the championship standings.

Last time out at the Mexican GP, Ferrari saw its worst two-car finish of the 2022 season with a P5 and P6 finish. Leclerc and his teammate Carlos Sainz said that the high altitude of the track in Mexico did not go hand-in-hand with the Ferrari’s setup.
