While teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has claimed the last two pole positions on offer and ended Red Bull’s winning streak last time out in Singapore, Leclerc has been slightly off the pace of🐼 his teammate. 

The Monegasque admitted that he has not at one with the SF-23 since Ferra💟ri made changes to make the car’s handling more predictable. 

But Leclerc said he feels more comfortable in the cockpit after Friday practice for this week♋end’s Japanese Grand Pr🐬ix. 

“Today was a littlﷺe bit better,” he said. “The last two or three races, I’ve always struggled a little bit with the balance of th🌃e car. 

“Today I changed a little bit my driving style, went 🍰with the car a bit in my direction too, and it f꧑eels that the feeling is better.

“But obviously it’s only one day,🌸 so we need to keep pushing and hopefully do another step forward tomorrow.”

Ferra🐓ri have brought a new floor to Japan in a bid to boost their car’s efficiency. Leclerc debuted it across both FP1 and FP2, while Sainz got to try it out on Friday afterno💎on. 

“It did what we expected it to ✱do,” Leclerc explained. 

“It gave us a little bit of consistency, which was good to see. I don’t think🐎 there was a lot of performance in it, but let’s wait and see.”

Leclerc ended Friday just 0.320s off Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and has taken encouragement from Ferra🌜ri’s early competitiveness in Japan. 

“Obviously we keep learn🍸ing about this car,” he said. “The last two or three races we learned a lot and now it’s abo😼ut putting all of it together, which we did in Singapore.

“We need to do that here too. Red Bull seem to be extremely quick this weekend, ♏but I don’t think we are so far off.”
