As reported by Planetf1, Leclerc hinted that Ferrari could have a similar weekend as Paul Ricard if the temperatures stay cooler at Silverstone. He also mentioned that this is a strong track for him.

“We are learning quite a bit this season, especially after Paul Ricard where we had a big problem with the front tires,” said Leclerc.

“This is a track where we could have a similar type of problem, so it will be very interesting for us how much progress we have made in these few weeks analyzing this issue and see whether we manage to get rid of that problem or not,” said Leclerc.

Ferrari looking to upset McLaren at their home race

Ferrari are currently locked in a battle with McLaren for P3 in the constructor’s championships. McLaren are leading their Italian rivals by 19 points after 9 races. The Woking-based team would like to extend their lead at their home race at Silverstone.

Charles Leclerc was on the podium at Silverstone last year, and he would be looking to repeat that performance.

“It’s been a strong track for me in the past. We were a bit lucky last year. We were competitive last year–probably not enough to be on the podium in a normal race, but we did it.

Hopefully, we are as competitive as last year, with the luck we had last year, and we find ourselves again on the podium.” said Leclerc.
