Charles Leclerc: Red Bull and McLaren 'doing something weird’ to boost top speed
"They are doing🅺 something weird with the energy, engine-wise"
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc has claimed Ferrari’s F1 rivals Red Bull and McLaren are “doing somet𒉰hing weird” in order to boost their stra꧂ight-line speed.
The Monegasque finished third in his upgraded Ferrari behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris in Sunday’s Emilia Romagnꦿa Grand Prix at Imola.
After the race, Leclerc high൲lighted that Ferrari were losing too much time compared to their rivals and suspects Red Bull and McLaren have fou🌺nd a technique to get more performance from their engines.
“I think our race pace is very, very strong,” he told Sky. “I’m more optimistic than yesterday looking back at the qualifying be൩cause this is where I think we are lacking on a weekend like this.
“What makes me optimistic is that if I look ⛄🍷back at the data, I thought we were losing in turn two, three, four, which would have been tyre related again. But it wasn’t the case.
“We lost everything in the straights, and they are doing something weird with the energy, engine-wise, McLaren and Re🐟d Bull.
“We will look into that. Once we fix that, we’ve got a real shot of going back onto the top step of the podiuဣm.”
Leclerc finished nearly eight seconds behind Norris and Verstappe♔n by the end of the 63-lap race.
Asked if he felt catching Norris for second was ever on the cꦛards, Leclerc replied: “Honestly, I don’t think so.
“We had to cover for Oscar on the first stint. There’s no way🌳 we could afford to lose tra൲ck position on a track like this.
“So we had to stop Oscar. He was pus♒hing hard on the first laps with the hard. It made it difficult for me to man🎃age tyres in the first part of the hard tyres.
“Then, I saw I wa💞s coming back on Lando. I thought I could put him under press𒈔ure. But as soon as I got closer, they started to push. That was it. I never saw Lando again.
“They were strong but I really𒆙 believe today was all a♈bout track position.”
