From lap eight, basically everything was about managing those brakes. It made our race very, very complicated.<\/p>\nCharles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nA video of Leclerc having to lift off the throttle and save fuel while being overtaken by the Mercedes driver, Kimi Antonelli, has gone viral after the race.\n\n\n Unfortunately, we don’t have the race car to fight with those in front. McLaren always had the same difference with us compared to the beginning of the year. Red Bull took a step from Monza and the same level of McLaren.<\/p>\nCharles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe driver added that Mercedes is now at the same level as McLaren and Red Bull, and that Ferrari is in a difficult situation. “It’s not easy, obviously, because you want to fight for better positions. But at the moment, I feel like we are passengers in the car and we can’t get much more out of what’s there to save the rest of the season,” he commented.\n\nLast year, Ferrari was in a great moment and competed with McLaren in the constructors’ championship. The fight lasted until the last race of the year, where Lando Norris’ victory was enough for McLaren to take the championship.\n\nHowever, Ferrari has not matched McLaren’s pace this season.\n\nLeclerc tried to show a positive attitude about the season, although he acknowledged the difficulty of the situation.\n\n\n I wouldn’t describe it as the most difficult season. I think every time you don’t fight for victories, it’s difficult, but obviously, coming from a year like the previous one, where you are fighting for the World Champion, the World Constructors’ Championship, and then you come here with high expectations.<\/p>\nCharles Leclerc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nLeclerc also admitted that the current situation requires a lot of energy, but that this motivates him to try to change the situation. “It’s very hard, especially after a race like today, where you’re not even fighting for a podium, you have to manage a lot of problems. It’s simply not a pleasant feeling,” he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Leclerc: “It’s not a pleasant feeling” after the Singapore GP Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc expressed his disappointment after the Singapore Grand Prix, describing the team’s current situation as “not a pleasant feeling.” Leclerc admitted that he has had to re-evaluate expectations about the performance of the Ferrari car, as he watches his rivals compete for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[646,647,442,8848],"class_list":{"0":"post-51004","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-f1","7":"tag-charles-leclerc","8":"tag-ferrari","9":"tag-formula-1","10":"tag-singapore"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51004\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Charles](\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1006%2Fr1556398_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
