Leclerc explained: “What has changed is the time I spent with my teammate because Seb and I have crossed paths a lot in the past. I would arrive when he left, or vice versa. Now we are often on the same days with Carlos and consequently spend more time together. “
Ferrari ended up at the bottom of the midfield last season and struggled to get both cars into the top 10. The 2021 season started well for the team as they were the third fastest car during qualifying and both finished in the top 10 in Bahrain.
