The Italian squad has been the team to beat so far this season, with Leclerc emerging as the championship leader – winning two of the first three races.
Following Sainz’s DNF in Australia last weekend, Leclerc is 38 points ahead of his team-mate and is clearly in the best position to go for the title.

“It’s only three races which have been done now,” he explained.
“There are still 20 races left, hopefully 19 or 20. So the championship is still very long.
“Our drivers are free to fight, and I am really looking forward and enjoying that they are battling for a good place, and first place, if possible.”
