Charles Leclerc isn’t exactly doing backflips over his performance at the Monaco Grand Prix, despite leading the way in both Friday practice sessions. The Ferrari driver had a bit of a scare in FP1 when he made contact with Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin, but he quickly recovered and set the fastest lap time of the session. In FP2, Leclerc continued to impress, ending the day on top once again.
It’s still early days, though, and Leclerc isn’t getting ahead of himself. He admits that Monaco is a unique track, and everyone is still finding their footing. While he’s feeling good about the car, he’s not ready to declare victory just yet. The crash with Stroll was a setback, but Leclerc is pleased with how things have gone since then.
Qualifying will be crucial, as always, in Monaco. Leclerc knows that starting at the front is key to a good result. The Ferrari felt strong on all three tire compounds available, giving them options for strategy. Leclerc is optimistic about their pace but knows they have to deliver when it counts.
On the other side of the Ferrari garage, Lewis Hamilton is also feeling positive. He’s happy with the Ferrari package so far and believes there’s more to come from his driving. Hamilton is focusing on fine-tuning his lines and braking points, rather than making big changes to the car setup. He’s confident that small adjustments will make a difference.
Overall, both Ferrari drivers are cautiously optimistic about their chances in Monaco. The weekend is far from over, and anything can happen in the tight streets of Monte Carlo. Qualifying will be the true test of their speed, and both Leclerc and Hamilton are ready to give it their all. It’s still early days, but the Ferrari camp is quietly confident about their prospects.
