Leclerc Expresses Frustration with Ferrari’s Performance in Singapore<\/h2>\n\nFerrari driver Charles Leclerc expressed his disappointment after the Singapore Grand Prix, describing the team’s current situation as “not a pleasant feeling.” Leclerc has had to adjust his expectations due to the lack of competitiveness of the car, while watching his rivals fight for victories.\n\nFerrari has yet to achieve any victories in the 2026 season, while McLaren, Red Bull, and Mercedes have each secured at least two wins, and all have celebrated triumphs since the summer break.\n\nGeorge Russell of Mercedes secured the second victory of the year for his team at the Singapore Grand Prix. Meanwhile, Leclerc and his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, fought to achieve sixth and eighth positions respectively, due to brake problems.\n\n\n

From the eighth lap, it was basically about managing those brakes. It made our race very, very complicated.<\/p>Charles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nA video of Leclerc having to lift off the throttle and enter energy-saving mode, while being overtaken by Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli, went viral after the race.\n\n\n

\"Charles<\/figure>\n\n\nLeclerc gave a sincere assessment of Ferrari’s position in the competition.\n\n\n

Unfortunately, we don’t have the car to fight with those ahead.<\/p>Charles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe driver added that McLaren has always maintained the same distance from them compared to the beginning of the year. Red Bull has taken a step forward since Monza, matching McLaren’s level.\n\nMercedes is now at the same level as McLaren and Red Bull, and then there’s us. It’s not easy, obviously, because you want to fight for better positions. But, for the moment, it seems we are like passengers in the car and can’t get much more out of what’s there to save for the rest of the season.\n\nLast year, Ferrari showed strength and competed with McLaren in the constructors’ championship.\n\nFerrari took that battle to the last race of the year, where Lando Norris’ victory was enough for McLaren to take the title.\n\nBut Ferrari has not matched McLaren’s pace this season. Leclerc tried to show a positive attitude when asked about his season in general.\n\n\n

I wouldn’t describe it as the most difficult season. I think every time you’re not fighting for wins, it’s difficult, but obviously, coming from a year like the past one, where you’re fighting for the World Championship, the World Constructors’ Championship, and then you come here with high expectations.<\/p>Charles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nLeclerc went on to say that expectations must be lowered from the start, and there is not even any progression seen throughout the year. It is not easy.\n\nWhen asked if it’s difficult to manage the feeling of frustration from a year like 2025, he replied: “Yes, I mean it requires a lot of energy, but that doesn’t demotivate me… it motivates me, if anything, much more to try to change the situation. But it is, I mean, it’s very hard, especially after a race like today’s, in which you’re not even fighting for a podium, you have to manage a lot of problems. It’s simply not a pleasant feeling.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
