1.06.2025 Charles Lecler: It is difficult to talk about the sensations from the car - before we have never performed in Bahrain in such weather conditions

Lecler appreciated the work of the car following tests in Bahrain. Pilot Ferrari noted that he would not draw serious conclusions from the test results, taking into account the lack of information about the working programs of the teams and the specific weather conditions in which tests took place this year.
I would have waited a little before making any forecasts. While we are working on improving the balance of the car, since we had problems with this.
At the same time, it is quite difficult to talk about the sensations from the car management and whether the initial assumptions were confirmed. Because, it seems to me, we had never performed on the highway in Bahrain before in such weather conditions. It was very cold, it was even raining, on this highway we got used to completely different temperatures. So to conduct comparisons with the past seasons, when the tests were much warmer, it is very difficult.
As for competitors, on tests you usually concentrate on yourself, although it is clear that you still look at what the opponents do. Even if you do not know what exactly they work on and what they are doing. So, in any case, all these results should be perceived with a certain degree of caution.
Maclaren really looks strong, but it’s too early to talk about something specific. We need to focus on ourselves and do not pay much attention to the first impressions, because we really know nothing, ”said Lekler.
The final day of tests F-1:Ferrari and Hamilton have problems, Mercedes is a leader
