Charles Leclerc is refusing to write off Ferrari’s chances this season despite their double disqualification at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton were excluded from the final race results in Shanghai due to two different tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚechnical infringements.

Leclerc was disqualified after his car was deemed underweight following post-race scrutineeringও checks.

Due to exces♛sive plank wear, Hamilton’s Ferrari was also not classꦡified in the final race results.

It ruined a reasonably positive weekend f🥂or Ferrari as Hamilton dominated the sprint race, having taken pole posit𝓡ion.

Speaking at the FIA press conference in Japan on Thursday, Leclerc revealed that a “multitude” of factors c𝕴ontributed to the DQs.

“Confident because whenever you do mistakes you learn from them, especially when they are costing that much,” Leclerc explained. “Obviously, to have both cars underneath it was 🃏a big pain and we didn’t need that. At the end🔴 of the day, it’s been a difficult first part of the season.

“The first two races were difficult. The pace wasn’t exactly where we expected it to be. To lose even more points than we did with that hurts the te𒀰am a lot. I am confident we learned from it and whenever this kind of event happens we try and understand, analyse where that did go wrong and change a little bit the process of that.

“It was a multitude of things adding up which m🍷eant that the margin we had taken wasn’t big enough.”

While Ferrari's results have been lacking, Lecl൩erc is still confident they can have a successful campaign if they make small improvements in the coming rounds - like they did last year.

♏“Not yet. I think if we go back to last year if we look at the first few races I think the situation in terms of performance was quite a bit worse than where we are now,” Leclerc added. “We kind of expected Red Bull to dominate the whole season and obviously by taking the points that were available at the beginning of the season with the performance that we had we ended up the season fighting for the championship which was way above our expectations starting the year.

“There’s definitely not this feeling within the team at the moment. However, there’s defin♔itely the feeling we haven’t maximised what we could have for these first two races.

“This is frustrating, that doesn’t mean we cannot recover.🌌 We are aware this season is still very, very long. Small steps after small steps then we can still have an amazing season.”
