Scuderia Ferrari and Charles Leclerc haven't had the most ideal start to a Formula 1 season. He has now assessed his performance as F1 heads into the summer break "It didn't go well. Before the first race, the target was to do a step better compared to last year, which was to win the World Championship. If we look at the first half of the year, we are very far from where we put our expectations before the season. So on the other hand, as soon as we understood that, we reset it. And there was an incredible reaction from the team. They brought upgrades sometimes a month and a half earlier" "I think we still need to try and understand, because if I do a step back in the last two races, I think we expected to be much more competitive in Budapest than on a track like here. And at the end is the opposite. So these are things that we need to look at, because maybe we haven't optimized the package in races like Budapest. And maybe we've done something that was surprisingly good on a track like here." "So it's good anyway to finish on a positive note the first part of the season. And now we'll take the time of the summer break, or at least whenever the guys can work again, to try and analyze those two last races and hopefully maximize the package at all races for the second half of the season" #CharlesLeclerc #ScuderiaFerrari #F1 #FerrariF1 #Formula1 #F12023 #Motorsport #PrancingHorse #F1Championship #LeclercOnFire #FerrariFans #F1News #TeamFerrari #F1Fever #Formula469

FP1 kicked off with Lando Norris surprising us by leading the timesheets, closely followed by Max Verstappen.

FP2 saw Charles Leclerc take the spotlight, showing off incredible pace and topping the charts, leaving Verstappen trailing by nearly 0.4s at Albert Park.
