Ferrari Styrian GP upgrade: Sebastian Vettel, Charles Leclerc’s verdicts

7:05 Anthony Davidson and Karun Chandhok look back at an eventful Friday practice from the Styrian GP.

“The main thing on our side was to look after the upgrade that we brought. So step by step we were putting stuff on and it seemed to be positive. We still need to have a look and find the best window where the car is happiest.”

Leclerc said he could feel a difference but more work was required.

“I could feel it but we still have to tune it in order for it to work properly,” said the 22-year-old.

“I think there is potential in it, we just need to keep working to find it’s full potential.”

But Ferrari made clear heading into the weekend that the intended improvements to the car would not address what currently appears its main weakness – straight-line performance.

2:04 Christian Horner confirms that Red Bull will not be taking Sebastian Vettel as a driver for 2021.

“We are definitely struggling on that and that’s why also the race of last week was so difficult to overtake,” acknowledged Leclerc.

“We are trying to work as much as possible with what we’ve got at the moment and hopefully we’ll manage to change it for the next few races.”

The new Formula 1 season is underway in dramatic style on Sky Sports F1 and continues this week with the second race at the Red Bull Ring – the Styrian GP. Find out more & subscribe.
