Ferrℱari dedicated much of Friday’s practice running at Zandvoort to trialing new set-ups in a bid to get on top of the weaknesses of thei𒆙r 2023 challenger. 

Leclerc endured a challenging wee𝓡kend in the Netherlands and suffered a heavy crash in qualifying, before floor damage curtailed his Sunday and forced 🎀him into retirement. 

Asked what lessons Ferrari took away from Zandvoort, Leclerc replied: “Many. Not 🎐really in the race as my front wing went under the floor and basically broke everything, so I had very little grip. 

♚“For the rest of the weekend we tried quite a few things, especially in FP1, trying to put the car in very different places in terms of set-up to see how it will react and I think w🅰e have some confirmation of what we expected. 

“We’ve got a lot of work to▨ do now to find solutions to our problems and the weakness of the car. It’s even clearer to before where we are lacking at the moment.🏅” 

After his qualifying crash, Leclerc said he has “zero idea” how his Ferrari car will behave through the corners. The Monegꦡasque reiterated that unpredictability remainﷺs the SF-23’s biggest weakness. 

“Y𒁏es the unpredictability, especially on tracks where we have a bit more downforce, it becomes really tricky to drive,” he explained.  

"We’ve got big changes of ba🍎lance through the same corner and as a driv♕er, it’s very difficult to go into a corner and not really know what balance you are going to get. 

“So that’s where we need to work on at the moment.” ﷽;

Leclerc is hoping for a more competဣitive weekend at Ferrari’s home race at Monza this weekend. 

“Let’s say it’s not exactly like Spa but the track characteristics are closer to the o🌱nes of Spa than Zandvoort and Budapest,” he said. 

“So we should be a bit꧋ more competitive here. Whether it will be enough or not ꩵto fight for the podium, I don't know.

“But I really hope so. We'll do everyt𒐪hing for it, for sure.”
