Leclerc will hope for a strong result in Australia after a poor start
Charles Leclerc’s 2023 season has gotten off to a poor start as he currently finds himself eighth in the championship with just six points, thanks to the seventh-place finish he had two weekends prior in Saudi Arabia. As for his opening race in Bahrain, he suffered from a disappointing DNF due to an engine issue.
While Ferrari has demonstrated a strong pace during qualifying, their race pace has been disappointing. The Prancing Horse found itself as the fourth fastest car on the grid in Saudi Arabia as their drivers even struggled to get past the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
What has been most concerning for Ferrari is how far they have fallen behind leaders Red Bull. Ferrari is currently fourth in the championship with 26 points and is already a whopping 61 points behind Red Bull. As a result of the team’s poor form, Leclerc will now hope for a strong result this weekend in Australia.
