He mentioned that there were no positive aspects of the weekend in Shanghai, but expressed optimism about the rumored upgrades expected to be introduced during the Italian GP in Imola next month. These upgrades are expected to significantly transform the SF24 and shape Ferrari’s season. Leclerc emphasized the need for the team to focus on getting the upgrades right to be more competitive with the dominant Red Bulls.
