Porpoising “not a concern” for Ferrari – Charles Leclerc

Ferrari Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc and Ferrari finished second last year even after having a rather strong start to the season.

For the day 2 of testing, Charles Leclerc managed to score 68 laps driving the car in the afternoon session. The Ferrari driver managed to finish sixth after the session.

The car is under speculation however, after the car was shown bouncing on the main straights. To this, Leclerc was quick to dispose off any speculations on the bounicing:

“I mean, I don’t think we are particularly worried with that. We have done quite extreme [set-ups] yesterday, changing big time the car. I think the first day was mostly for that, to try and do different directions on a bigger scale than what we will do in a [race] weekend, which is what the test is for,” explained Leclerc.

“We’ve had a positive first day and now more days will go on, more laps we’ll do, we’ll go into the details and fine-tune it. It is not a concern right now.”

Leclerc further affirmed that the initial signs are positive for the Scuderia

“Everything kind of matches [our expectations], which is a good sign – so this is positive. This has to be done, just to see whether everything matches. Luckily, everything matches, and today we’ll focus on trying to extract a bit more performance by trying to be a bit more at ease with the car,” he said.

Charles Leclerc and Ferrari are again looking positive for this season. The side had a strong start last year too before fading away.
