Charles Leclerc says Ferrari is “different” without Sebastian Vettel in the garage next to him. Leclerc said in Barcelona: “It’s painful that we still have problems getting on the podium and fighting for victories. “This track is representative of the rest of the season,” said Leclerc. However, he said Ferrari’s real focus this year is on the 2022 car, even if the now departed Vettel’s replacement Carlos Sainz is doing a good job so far with the current single seater. “It’s different,” smiled Leclerc when asked what Ferrari is like in the post-Vettel era. And you can imagine how motivated and happy he is about everything,” he said. I can’t tell what went wrong for Seb last year,” Leclerc admitted. However, he said he is more than happy to now have Spaniard Sainz at his side.
