At the start of the race, Charles Leclerc was quicker off the line than third-placed Bottas and eventually overtook the Finn. Valtteri Bottas struggled during the practice sessions, which gave Leclerc hope of keeping the Finn behind during the race.
Speaking about his battle with Bottas, Leclerc said:
There has been good progress compared to last year: Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc eventually lost his place to Bottas and then dropped further down the grid after Lando Norris’ overtake. However, the Monegasque took positives from the race as Ferrari were able to put a much-improved car on display compared to last season. The team will hope to compete with McLaren for third place in the constructors’ standings.
Speaking about the progress made at the Maranello-based team, Leclerc said:
Ferrari has made a crucial step forward this year. Their new power unit is showing signs of being competitive, while the aero parts on the car have improved. Success is always expected at the Scuderia, and after a disastrous 2020 campaign, early signs look promising for Ferrari and Leclerc.
