Formula One championship leader Charles Leclerc hoped car upgrades would put Ferrari back ahead of rivals Red Bull on race pace at Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix.
Leclerc has a 19-point lead over Red Bull’s Max Verstappen after five races while Ferrari are six clear at the top of the constructors’ standings.
Reigning champion Verstappen has won the last two races, however, whittling down the Monegasque’s lead with a car that has been getting quicker as Red Bull introduce their own improvements.
Verstappen has won three races this season and Leclerc the other two.
