Leclerc: Many in Miami will have completely new cars.

      In Miami, the Formula 1 teams brought upgraded cars. Ferrari prepared many new features, but Charles Leclerc doubts that we will see a significant change in the balance of power this weekend.

      Charles Leclerc: "It will be unusual to see so many new features from a large number of teams. Considering that we had a five-week break between races, many will have completely new cars in Miami. But I doubt that this will seriously affect the balance of power that has already formed at the beginning of the year. Perhaps the gaps between some teams will decrease or increase, but I don't know.

      We are at least fighting with McLaren. In the last stage, there was a very tight battle between us, and I hope that the new features will allow us to overtake them. But when it comes to Mercedes, they are very far ahead for us to catch up with them, considering the new features we brought here, but it will be very interesting.

      I think the stage in Miami will largely determine our future actions, as we will see new development directions and areas that we might want to pursue after analyzing the innovations of other teams."

      When asked how he spent the April break in the season, Charles said: "Honestly, I had a lot of work at the base, a lot of work on the simulator to assess the correlation of the simulator with what we saw in the first three races. We needed to ensure that all the new features we are testing on the simulator behave the same way on the real track.

      We tested various updates prepared for Miami and further development paths that we want to follow in the upcoming races. There was a lot of work, but it turned out to be useful.

      At the beginning of the year, we gathered a large amount of information about the new cars, so the team needed time to analyze the data, evaluate it, and try to understand what to do next.

      Now I feel rested and ready to fight."
