For the British GP, they had been pressured to revert again to their older package deal due to the high-speed nature of the Silverstone.
For this weekend, Ferrari introduced an enormous improve to Monza, centred round at curing their weak spot.
Leclerc revealed “every part appears to be like higher” when it comes to the info – however is not sure if their points have lastly been eradicated given the character of Monza.
“Sure, I shall be a bit extra cautious, Monza is generally a monitor the place often we do not have these type of points,” Leclerc mentioned.
“Final 12 months it was a reasonably good race for us when it comes to these weak traits of the bouncing. I feel we did a step ahead.
“From numbers. every part appears to be like significantly better, I do not suppose we might have suffered from bouncing anyway on this monitor even with the previous package deal. However every part we had been anticipating from this flooring is there. So, it is a good signal for the long run.”
Teammate Carlos Sainz had an analogous view on the improve package deal.
He mentioned: “There’s positively low bouncing for us right here this weekend. So TBC, if it is the brand new flooring and we have to go to different tracks to double verify, as a result of right here, anyway, it has all the time been low bouncing. However it’s promising.”
When it comes to Ferrari’s qualifying show, they secured fourth and fifth on the grid for Sunday’s race.
Leclerc bemoaned “understeer” within the opening a part of the lap for the hole to the McLarens.
“It’s irritating as a result of we had been shut, but it surely’s not sufficient,” he defined. “Flip 1, 2, 4/5 we have had precisely the identical problem since FP1. FP2 simply understeer-y cannot rotate the automobile. FP3 for some cause there wasn’t the issue anymore. After which qualifying it got here again, that is what is irritating as a result of we lose two tenths and a half in 4 corners initially of the lap.
“Then, to come back again may be very tough. Once more, it is the best way it’s, now we have to give attention to the race tempo tomorrow. Do not anticipate to have as a lot of a difficulty into Flip 1/2, 4/5 and hopefully that can assist our race tempo.”
