Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Lonely third was best Ferrari could do, says Leclerc

The Hindu  

Ferrari is still too slow to win and third place behind the Red Bulls in Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix was the best it could have hoped for, Charles Leclerc said after securing his team’s first podium appearance of the Formula One season. “That was the absolute maximum I could do today, or that we could do as a team,” said the Monegasque, who finished 21 seconds behind race winner Sergio Perez in what he said was his “loneliest ever” race. “ strategy was really good, everything was really good but we just don’t have enough pace in the car today to fight with the Red Bulls. Ferrari has upgrades in the pipeline, planned for its home race at Imola in May, but Leclerc said he was expecting small steps rather than miracles.
