Racer Ferrari he says not much can be said about him yet, although it is certain that he seems completely different from current race cars.

"It is still very premature. It feels very different. Then I think the question here is for everyone whether we are developing well or not. Like I said, it’s such a different project, we’re still at a very early stage, so no one knows where we are compared to others. But we are working on" so Leclerc. A lot is going on right now hard work, especially in the factory. But Leclerc and his teammate Carlos Sainz they are already contributing their share. “It’s hard because we only have numbers and predictions right now, but we can definitely give feedback, especially in the simulator."

Monachan continues: “We are lucky that Ferrari has a very good simulator and we can test different things in it and there the entry of the racer is very important." Leclerc further explains that s Sainz in particular, they try to explain the disadvantages of the SFH-71 so that it does not happen again in 2022. 'I would say we have a pretty big contribution on the simulator and we can help. We can also do the same with this year's feedback so that the team will work in the right direction."
