[Saba Sports News] In a post-race interview following the Miami Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc revealed that he has significantly altered his driving style in order to extract maximum potential from Ferrari’s elusive 2025 racing car. This season, Ferrari had a frustrating start, with Leclerc being the only one to make it to the podium once during the first six races in Saudi Arabia, leaving them fourth in the constructors’ standings. The problematic SF-25 car has proven challenging for Lewis Hamilton, who recently joined from Mercedes. So far, Hamilton hasn’t managed to outperform Leclerc in any grand prix races, with the gap between them reaching over 30 seconds at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. This led Hamilton to predict a “very tough” year ahead. While Hamilton partly attributed the gap to his teammate’s familiarity with the Ferrari, Leclerc rejected the notion that the SF-25 was inherently suited to him, stating that to maximize the car’s speed, he had to adopt a more extreme setup.
