Charles Leclerc says Ferrari fans should not be expecting any miracles at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix and rates the Italian team’s chances of winning a race this season as negligible.
Ferrari ran McLaren close in the constructors’ championship last year, but — trailing the champions-elect by 337 points with seven races remaining in this campaign — are resigned to battling it out with Mercedes and Red Bull for second place.
Leclerc has managed four third places and one second this year but thinks it unlikely that he or teammate Lewis Hamilton will stand on the top step of the podium before the season is out.
“I think it’s unlikely again because the McLaren is also strong when it’s warm,” he told reporters on Thursday.
