Leclair is confident that Scuderia will gradually catch up with the leaders.

      Charles Leclair is confident that Ferrari will gradually be able to close the gap between rivals who are still ahead of the Italian team, and hopes that already in Bahrain it will be able to take a step forward. But if Scuderia manages to reach the leadership level, it will happen after some time.

          

      Charles Leclair: "This weekend we will receive several new products, and I hope that they will help us to reduce the gap a little. Although I don't think they will be enough to win it back completely. Nevertheless, it will still be quite a significant step.

      I think we were two or three tenths behind the leaders in Suzuka, and we have to work very hard to catch up with McLaren. But I have no doubt that we can do it – I hope we will receive new products soon, and they will help us get closer to them.

      As for the results, I think they will remain roughly at the same level for now. Our gap will narrow somewhat, but it is unlikely that this will be enough to reach the level of McLaren or Max Verstappen this weekend.

      I hope that we will succeed gradually – of course, that is exactly the goal we have in front of us. However, we are still in about third or fourth place in terms of speed."
