Leclerc: Ferrari-Motor fehlt es im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz an Leistung

Charles Leclerc glaubt, dass Ferrari vor der schwierigen Aufgabe steht, Mercedes in der Formel-1-Saison 2026 aufgrund eines Nachteils bei der Antriebseinheit einzuholen. Er erklärte, dass der Motor des Teams sowohl hinter Mercedes als auch hinter der Red Bull-Ford-Einheit zurückliege.

Leclerc gab an, dass Ferrari darauf hoffe, nach dem Rennen in Montreal durch das System für zusätzliche Entwicklungs- und Upgrade-Möglichkeiten der FIA ein Upgrade zu erhalten. Das System wird die Leistung aller fünf Hersteller messen, um die Berechtigung für eine weitere Entwicklung zu bestimmen.
