CHARLES LECLERC is confident Ferrari are showing ‘promising signs’ as they look to bounce back from last season. But after a winter of tweaking their car design, Leclerc says they are making improvements. “It’s very warm, and very windy, so it’s very difficult to make a comparison with last year for now. “And it’s all relative to the others: how much they improved compared to us. The big issue Ferrari faced last year was their under-strength engine, which Leclerc was also an improvement this new F1 season. But everything feels good and, as I said, stacks up with what we expected.
