Leclerc has just six points in the op𒅌ening three rounds of the season - the worst start to a season♋ from a Ferrari driver since Felipe Massa in 2012.

After starting last year in 🗹scintillating fashion, Ferrari have struggled in 2023, leaving Australia with the fourth-fastest car.

Leclerc’s future with the team is unclear given that his contract runs out at the end of nextಌ year.

"I have absolutely n꧅o doubt about the motivation of Charles," Vasseur said.

"We had the DNF in Bahrain and then the [10-place grid] penalty inไ Jeddah and the DNF in Melbourne [so], for sure, it was not at all the plan,𒀰 but the motivation is still there.

"I have a good relationship with 🏅Charles. This won't affect the mood. 

"When you are jumping on Charles or Carlos or any of the drivers in the TV pen [a few] seconds after the race, for sure they can't be happy, and I would be very frustrated if thꦿey were relaxed and happy with the situation.

"The most important [thing] for me is to keep everybod♋y motivated [and] pushing in the same direction. They are supporting the team, Carlos was there in the wee🗹k in the simulator and Charles will be there next week. 

"T⛎he motivation is not an issue at a🐷ll. For sure, the results are not the results expected, but we all know that."

The Frenchman also dismis🔯sed claims that team morale was low after 🅷their stuttering start to the year.

"The mood in t🍎he team is incredibly good for the level of result that we have [had]," Vasseuꦗr explained.

"I think everybody is very motivated, very 🎶focused. The drivers, they are very supportive with us, and the mood in the tဣeam is more than good. 

"If the question was about the relationship with Joh🍌n [Elkann, Chairman at Ferrari] or Benedetto [Vigna, Chief Executiveཧ Officer], trust me that it's also very positive.

"For sure, we don't have the results that we are expecting, but we are all working together to improve the sꦆituation."
