F1 2023: Charles Leclerc Wants To End His Victory Fast In Kampung Page
JAKARTA - Ferrari's performance, Charles Leclerc, in the 2023 Formula 1 competition is far from satisfactory. Never mind winning, Leclerc also has difficulty getting on the podium.
In the first five races of the season, Leclerc has only been on the podium once, namely at the Baku Circuit, Azerbaijan. While the remaining two finished seventh and failed to finish twice.
In the sixth series of races, Leclerc is eyeing victory. He has high confidence because the race will be held at home, namely Circuit de Monaco, Monaco.
"Unfortunately, we had problems from the first three races. But, here, at Monaco, everything is possible to happen," Leclerc said, quoted from AFP via Antara, Thursday, May 25.
Unfortunately, Leclerc has never experienced success in his own home. He hopes for a change in strategy and luck as he tries to achieve the third pole in a row at Monaco later.
Currently, Leclerc has collected 34 points and is in seventh place in the drivers' standings.
In addition, he acknowledged that he would face fierce fighting with Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, as well as other strong potentials from Aston Martin, veteran racer Fernando Alonso.
Alonso is also believed to have the potential to decide on the dominance of Red Bull in F1 this season, considering he has always managed to stand on the podium at many GPs this time.
"Aston Martin was able to make a breakthrough," Leclerc said.
The Monaco Grand Prix will be held this weekend, with the main race on Sunday, May 28, at 20.00 WIB.
