Charles Leclerc recognized the benefits of staying on with Ferrari in 2020.
The Monégasque Formula 1 racing driver will not be switching team for first time in his career. He decided to continue his consecutive second year with Ferrari and have signed more years with the team.
He have continuously changed teams for last six year since he graduated for single seater.
Leclerc anticipate great future with the Italian brand. He is hopeful that the stability will pay off both the team and himself in the longer term.
Leclerc said, “It’s been a very long time since the last time I was two years in a row in the same team.
“I’ve made it clear what I want from the car,” he added. “But the job of the team and the goal of everyone is the same at the end: To try to do the most solid car with the most flexibility in terms of set-up to help in both directions.
“Because it’s not the same issue that we have in every track. We need to be adapting the car to every track and this is a goal for both drivers. And then when they are small balance issues which can happen then it’s up to us to adapt to the car too.”
Leclerc was shaky after getting offered by the team and he was blank and “didn’t know what to expect”. But he added that the decision added more to him than expected.
“I think there were a few mistakes last year,” he said. “Probably the biggest one, like in Baku to crash in Q2, was just very unnecessary and I think I’ve learned the lesson.”
“Overall during the year I think I’ve learned many smaller lessons, probably, but very useful ones on the strategy and the races. It’s quite a lot more complex in Formula 1.
“And on this I’ve still got a lot of improvements to make and I’m working with the team on that, so I’m pretty sure there’s room for improvement everywhere.
“If I have to choose one thing at the moment it is probably on my side to try and have a better vision of the race. I’m pretty sure this will be useful for the future.”
