Before his Bahrain race, Charles spoke about driving on the SF-25 track. The popular driver claimed it was a bit difficult for him to feel anything due to the avolution of the track. He added that the track was narrow and was like a city track. The Ferrari driver claimed he had to wait until Bahrain to actually feel the track.

'Maybe McLaren or Red Bull or Mercedes have found something magic' - Charles Leclerc

"It's a bit more difficult to feel anything because the cars have evolved so much since the track was built. The track [Fiorano] is quite narrow. It feels a bit like a city track - it's particular. To actually have the first feeling out of the car we will wait until Bahrain," said Leclerc ahead of his race in Bahrain.

Leclerc added that the first numbers he saw were not highly different to the ones they expected. He felt teams liek Red Bull, Mercedes, or McLaren might have found something different. He concluded by saying everything would be found out during their race in Bahrain.

"The first numbers we've seen are not different to what we were expecting those numbers to be, which is a good first sign. But we don’t know. Maybe McLaren or Red Bull or Mercedes have found something magic but we will only know in Bahrain," Leclerc added in his interview.
