26 Jan
Summary
- Charles Leclerc shared initial thoughts on Ferrari's SF-24 car after its first shakedown.
- The driver noted the absence of major technical issues as a positive sign.
- Suboptimal track conditions at Fiorano made early performance assessments difficult.
Charles Leclerc shared his initial feedback on the Ferrari SF-24 after its shakedown at the Fiorano circuit on January 23rd. The Monegasque driver confirmed that the primary objective of verifying basic functionality was met, with no major issues arising during the car's first public outing.
Leclerc noted that while the absence of significant technical problems is a positive outcome, it remains too early to provide a comprehensive performance evaluation. The shakedown was conducted in challenging conditions, including fog and a damp track, which were not conducive to detailed testing.
He also highlighted the excitement of the moment, both for the team and the Tifosi gathered at Fiorano. The shakedown precedes further private testing scheduled for Barcelona later in the week. Ferrari finished the 2025 constructors' championship in fourth place.
