Slow start to the 2023 season gets even worse for Ferrari in Saudi Arabia.
Ferrari encountered reliability issues in Bahrain, where Charles Leclerc finished 19th.
Leclerc then suffered a failure during the race, forcing him to retire from third place, and Ferrari’s post-race analysis determined that he must take on a new Control Electronics for this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. As only two CEs are allowed per driver per season Leclerc taking on a third CE means he will incur a 10-place grid penalty from wherever he qualifies on Saturday.
“Now we need to focus on what’s ahead, what we can do to be a better team, to be better. And yeah, this weekend, we obviously started on the back foot, but our target is to try and do something special. I like this challenge of starting a little bit more on the back foot and trying to do something special, and come back at the front as quickly as possible.”Leclerc emphasized that “it’s only the first race of the season and we’ve still got many races to go.
Leclerc’s team-mate, Carlos Sainz, was fourth in Bahrain—having been beaten to the podium by Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso—and also dismissed speculation of a fraught atmosphere at Ferrari.
