168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc has insisted that Ferrari made the decision to replace his race engineer.

Leclerc enters this weekend’s F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix with Bryan Bozzi on the other end of his te🙈am radio, where Xavi Marcos has been for 🌄years.

The Ferrari driver claimed he did not make t🌜he call to reꦗshuffle the team.

“Obviously, it's very 𒈔tigh🍸t in the front and everything makes a difference,” Leclerc said in Imola.

“🔯However, 𝓡the decision was made between the team and Xavi. They've had other plans in mind, I guess.

“It was communicated to me right after Miami.

“Having said that, Brya൩n, that will take the role of Xavi from now onwards, is a person I have been working with since I arrived in Ferrari.

“He's always been my performance engineer, so he🃏 kn🐠ows exactly how everything works.

“It's not like I'm starting from zero and that it's going to be a complete adaptation. It's been super smooth until now and I'm sure thatඣ it will continue that way. That will be at our 100% already from this weekend. That's all I can say.”

Although Leclerc and Marcos had worked together since his arrival at Ferrari in 201💝9, their relationship is notable for several public clashes via team radio.

Most recently, they had a heated ex🐓change at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

ꦬ“I think communication has always been a big thing since we worked with Xavi,”ꦰ Leclerc said.

“We always try and communicate as much ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚas possible. Th🌼is is the way I work to try and have the best picture overall.

“As I said, I think we'll focus on having the smoot🅷hest transition possible and then we'll focus on the things that matter to us. I don't think it was a particular problem 🃏in the past.”

The change, decided by the team itself, 😼could be regarded as the latest tweak made by team principal Fred Vasseur.

Vasseur has already improved Ferrari’s strategy and has been praised f💞or his calmer approach, not to mention the recruitment of Lewis Hamilton for 2025.

Leclerc wa💮s asked about Vasseur’s assertion that Ferrari must shed their conservative nature and take more risks to overthrow Red Bull.

“I think it's defin𓆉itely a step that Fred has already made the team do this year especially, focusing on the last detail, on the last degree, on the very last fine details out o🍨f everybody in the team,” he said.

“And when you put everything tog🅘ether, so if you look only at one detail, you're like, okay, why take the risk?

“But then when everybody takes this risk, you add everything u🐓p and it makes a big difference.

“And this is definitely the approach that we need to take if we want to go and beat Red Bull, because a🀅t the moment they are extremely strong.

“As we've seen in the first part of the season,♒ not only Red 𒁏Bull, McLaren are very strong.

“So it's very important for us to extract the absolute maximum of the car. And I think this is the mentality that we've had since the beginniꦆng of the season and that we'll continue having forward to try and beat everybody.”

Leclerc verdict on Ferrari's Imola upgrades

Ferrari arrive at their home race in Italy with upgrades which they h🔴ope can close the gap to Red Bull.

Those upgrades were tested by Lecl൲erc in a filming day at Fiorano last week.

“The target ༺overall, obviously, the upgrades are done in a way that they've been projected and thought about quite a long time ago,” Leclerc said.

“It's not like we could react to the first weaknes𒅌ses of the car𒅌.

“However, it's just to make it a much better car all around. ❀That was the main targ🍎et.

“More than in Fiorano because, again, it was for filming purposes. It's not like we have tested🎃 anything special.

“I🍸t was mostly on the simulator where we could see the first data and feel the first few things. It was small steps in the right direction.

“Now it's all to be seen whether in reality we find the gaiꦿns that we♋ have seen on the simulator, which I hope we do.”

Ferrari struggled at Imola last year but, this weekend with rain e🌳xpected, Leclerc is optimistic.

“I think last year where we were struggling 🌃the most was with the wind sensitivity,” 🌼he said.

“So from where the wind will co🌃me from it will affect our car a lot more than others.

“This year we have tackled that🌸 quite well and the car is a lot more ♚predictable, is a lot better in all conditions.

“This is why I think whatever tracks we have been to, whatever conditions there were in terms of wind direction, wind intensity, our performance waꦺs very similar, which is a plus.

“Last year was a lot more up and down, so we have worked🐲 on that. It got a lot be🐻tter. The ones that remain to be seen is mostly the wet driving that we haven't had enough yet to judge.”

Ferrari were close to Max Verstappenܫ’s Red Bull in Miami, but not in China.

“I𒉰 think it was more down to the track characteristics,” Leclerc explained.

“I think in China as well, we were quite in a good place with the setup and we maximised the potential of t🎐he car.

“The nature of some corners in China made us struggle a lot more. We were losing way too much time, especially after qualifyin𒁃g.

“I think there was three or foꦯur tenths in the first♊ sector only. Which after that, if you look second and third sector, we were actually pretty quick.

“But t🥃hat was too late to recover what we lost in the first sector. So I think the nature of Shanghai for some reason wasn't very nice to our car.

“An💞d in Miami, there weren't those off corners where the car forꩵ some reason wouldn't work.”
