Ferrari Fans Brace for Tough Singapore GP: Leclerc's Candid Remarks
Charles Leclerc tempers Ferrari fans' expectations for the Singapore Grand Prix, noting their race-winning chances as slim. Despite Ferrari's struggles, McLaren is predicted to have the upper hand. Higher temperatures won't significantly boost Ferrari's performance, as disappointment looms over their current competitive status against rivals Mercedes and Red Bull.
Charles Leclerc has cautioned Ferrari fans not to anticipate miraculous performance at the Singapore Grand Prix, emphasizing the Italian team's minor odds of clinching a victory this season.
Despite last year's narrow competition with McLaren in the constructors' championship, Ferrari is trailing the leading team by 337 points with seven races left, now facing a contest with Mercedes and Red Bull for second place. Leclerc, holding a few podium finishes, doubts an upcoming win for himself or teammate Lewis Hamilton.
"McLaren's strength in warmer conditions makes it tough for us," Leclerc expressed. The Singapore race, noted as a "heat hazard," doesn't fuel optimism at Ferrari. The team's disappointment is palpable, particularly as they strive to ascend from second or fourth place to reclaim prominence in the sport.
