Despite the changes, things barely improved on race day and Leclerc was only able to recover to 12th, before being promoted one position when168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda was hit with a penalty. 

Asked if P11 was a decent resul🐓t, a despondent Leclerc answered: "No. I don't understand wha🔥t we are doing wrong but we are doing something wrong.

"I went from a first ꦰhard to a ꦅsecond hard in the last stint, did exactly the same thing and the car is behaving in a completely different way.

"We have to understand and work but it's been a few races now where we are struggling wiꦫth the conditions or having a really peaky car and today is no better.”

Although Leclerc reported his SF-23 felt better compared to qualifying, he was left puzzled after experiencing “complete🍌ly different” limitations. 

“The limitations were the opposite,” he said. “Yesterday I could not drive, I𝐆 had a rear that was super loose and strange.♑ 

“We will analyse all of this at the factory. Today was mostly🔯 the front, the issue. So the limitation was completely differe🍒nt. 

“The feeling was a little bit better today. The second and third stints were quite a bit better. The first stint was𒉰 really bad but I thin❀k that was more tyre related.”

And Leclerc stressed Ferrari need to get on𓆏 top of their tyre woes quickly. 

"I feel like all weekend we have been speaking with the dr🃏ivers and we are struggling [with🍬 the tyres],” he added. 

“It's such a tiny window and in those conditions, on this track, 🧔it seems to be more sensitive than others. 

“We already know that this is one of weaknesses and I feel we are struggling moꦆre than others. We need to be on top of those things."
