🗣 'Over 51 laps, it was just not possible. They have so much more pace than we do in race pace. I think they found something that we didn't yet.' Charles_Leclerc says the Red Bull F1 team remains in 'another league' after AzerbaijanGP 1-2:
This margin left Leclerc to declare that Red Bull remain in “another league” to Ferrari when it comes to race pace, with the Monegasque also“Over 51 laps, it was just not possible. They have so much more pace than we do in race pace.
“I think they found something that we didn't yet. That's where our focus is at the moment, everybody's working flat out to try and understand what we can do in the races, especially to just get more performance.”However, Leclerc did take some solace from the set-up tweaks made by Ferrari in Australia, which have unlocked more pace and have carried over to the competitive showing in Azerbaijan.
Asked if he felt the gap to Red Bull was narrowing at all, he said: “Honestly, the feeling is a little bit better. But when I see the gap, and I'm pretty sure that when you have this type of gap, you're probably not pushing 100%.“But again, also the Aston Martin was really quick. today. So we still have a lot of work.”
Having kept Aston Martin’s Alonso at bay to end the two-time champion’s run of podium finishes in 2023, Leclerc added: “He was pushing. “I knew what his intentions were at the beginning, because he always does that, trying to keep the tyres at the beginning of the stint and push at the end. So, I tried to do the same.
