Leclerc says the exits of Ferrari F1 staff like Sanchez or Mekies are not as big a concern as the team's on-track 'disaster' so far in 2023.
Charles Leclerc says Ferrari's off-track situation is not as big a worry for him as his own on-track"disaster" so far this Formula 1 season.The Monegasque driver has scored just six points in 2023, for seventh place in Saudi Arabia, after being forced out of the races in Bahrain and Australia.
Asked by Motorsport.com if he was worried about the on-track struggles and off-track situation, Leclerc said:"Well, let's be honest, if we are speaking on track, the performance is not where we want it to be the first part of the season. The first three races for me were a disaster. "Then off track, of course, there is a restructuring for the team and that's clear. We had a really good relationship with Laurent. But we all understand in the team that this opportunity is right to take, as it's a really good opportunity for him. So it's like this.
