Leclerc’s Frustration Highlights Ferrari’s Ongoing Strategy Struggles Ahead of Bahrain GP

Charles Leclerc will start the Bahrain GP in second position on the grid. Leclerc expressed his frustration with the team’s strategies during the first qualifying session of the 2024 season. The team introduced new aerodynamic elements to improve the performance of their car, but their strategies still need improvement. Leclerc disagreed with the strategy proposed by his engineer and reluctantly went out on the track to collect data. However, he was called back to the pits and had to abort his lap, which left him angry and swearing on the radio. Ferrari, the most successful constructor in F1 history, has faced a championship drought due to strategic failures. Despite having the fastest car in qualifying, the team only won four races in the previous season due to poor strategy calls. This weakness in the strategy department has not been addressed, as seen in the recent qualifying session. Fortunately, Leclerc managed to secure a higher position on the grid with an impressive lap.
