F1, Leclerc: "Without broken wing, Ferrari in the fight for victory"

Milan, March 23 (LaPresse) – "I'm disappointed because it was all difficult to manage, while the win was within our reach because the pace was good. At the beginning, it's no one's fault, I didn't want to overtake, and he was in the blind spot of the mirror, and we touched. But fortunately, it wasn't the end of the race." This is how Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc commented to Sky microphones on his fifth-place finish at the Chinese Grand Prix. "We had a good pace and good tire management, Mercedes was difficult to overtake at turn 12 where we struggled, as Verstappen had no problem overtaking me. So we took the points available today and look ahead," he added. "Today, the pace was really good, we didn't see the car's true pace. I felt more comfortable after making some changes. This isn't one of the tracks I like, I had confidence, but with the damage, it was hard to do better," he concluded.
