Ferrari dedicated much of Friday’s practice running at Zandvoort to trialing new set-ups in a bid to get on top of the weaknesses🌳 of their 2023 challenger. 

Leclerc endured a challenging weekend in the Netherlands and suffered a heavy crash in qualifying, before floor damag🍬e curtailed his Sunday and forced him into retirement. 

Asked what lessons Ferrari took away from Zandvoort, Leclerc replied: “Many. Not really in 🌊the race as my front wing went under the floor and basically broke everything, so I had very little grip. 

“For the rest of the weekend we tried quite a few things, especially in FP1, trying to put the car in very different places in terms of set-up🐭 to see how it will react and I think we have some confirmation of what 🧔we expected. 

“We’ve got a lot💝 of work to do now to f🦹ind solutions to our problems and the weakness of the car. It’s even clearer to before where we are lacking at the moment.” 

Afte📖r his qualifying crash, Leclerc said he has “zero idea” how his Ferrari car will behave through the corners. The Monegasque reiterated that unpredictability remains the SF-23’s biggest weakness.&n📖bsp;

“Yes the unpredictability, especiaꦺlly oౠn tracks where we have a bit more downforce, it becomes really tricky to drive,” he explained.  

"We’ve got big changes of balance through the same corner and as a driver, it’s very difficult to go into a corner and no✤t really know what ba🔥lance you are going to get. 

“So that’s where we nee♍d to wo🌠rk on at the moment.” 

Leclerc𝔍 is hoping for a more competitive weekend at Ferrari’s home race at🔯 Monza this weekend. 

“Let’s say it’s not exactly like Spa but the track character♏istics are closer to the ones of Spa than Zan🙈dvoort and Budapest,” he said. 

“So we should be a bit more competitive🎉 here. Whether it will be enough or not to fight for the podium, I don't know.

“But I r🌊eally hope so. We'll do everythi𒆙ng for it, for sure.”
