This weekend in Melbourne, Charles Leclerc is certain that Ferrari will get closer to Red Bull, but he also believes that defeating the defending world champions is a difficult task.

Red Bull’s closest competitor in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was Ferrari, but the Milton Keynes-based team—headed by Max Verstappen, who won back-to-back races to start his 2024 championship defense—was still easily superior to the Italian team in both races.

Ferrari has clearly improved from the previous season, though, as Leclerc and colleague Carlos—who finished on the podium in and Jeddah—are now operating a far more user-friendly package than the SF-23 from the previous year.

Pundits have speculated that the Scuderia will give its Red Bull rival a serious run for its money in Australia as a result of this.

Leclerc said, “I think there will be races this year where Max won’t win.” “Ferrari is currently closest, so even this weekend, I think Ferrari could be close, if not ahead.”

“It’s definitely better than it was the previous year. In the race, though, we’re talking about four tenths of a lap, which is still noteworthy.

“I’m more upbeat; rather than focusing on the gap, I consider the team’s overall condition and how we’re working, but we also have very clear views about what has to change for us to move forward.

That’s what gives me hope that we’ll be there at some point in the season, increasing the pressure on them in certain parts of the song. That’s what inspires confidence in me.

“As of right now, the difference is still too great for us to reasonably expect to win on race day.”

Leclerc believes that the improved stability of the Scuderia’s SF-24 platform, particularly in windy conditions, will produce better overall consistency, which should aid in the car’s in-season development and improvement. This is his assessment of Ferrari’s future possibilities.

Leclerc continued, “It was a very positive weekend two years ago,” alluding to his Melbourne victory in 2022 by sweep. “It was a lot harder weekend last year.

“This year, I believe we’ll be quite consistent in our competitiveness, but the characteristics of the car weren’t really matching the characteristics of this track.”

“It always occurs that you suffer a little more after a weekend in which you didn’t optimize the setup as properly.
