Leclerc says Ferrari must recover from downward spiral and development mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After a hugely encouraging start to the season, Ferrari are on the defensive. The upgrades<\/a> introduced in Spain have derailed the team’s progress, exposing an oversight in the Maranello factory’s calculations<\/strong>. Ferrari are now working to correct this error. However, as Charles Leclerc explains, these revisions come at a price.<\/p>\n

The Italian outfit aimed to generate more downforce with their latest upgrade package. At the time, Ferrari were still second in the Championship and within striking distance of Red Bull.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Fred Vasseur’s team<\/a>, they have been hampered by bouncing since introducing these updates.<\/p>\n

This impacts their current performance while raising questions about the upgrades already in the pipeline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ferrari has been forced to retrace their steps to prevent bouncing from becoming a recurring problem.<\/p>\n
