Ferrari has been on fire, securing two back-to-back Grand Prix victories in the latest triple-header. However, Charles Leclerc quickly reminds fans and competitors that McLaren and Red Bull remain formidable opponents. As the Sao Paulo Grand Prix approaches, the top three teams are separated by just 54 points in the constructors’ standings.

Leclerc’s Perspective on Ferrari’s Progress

Leclerc attributes Ferrari’s recent success to significant car upgrades, particularly new front wings introduced in Singapore. While their improvements have been substantial, not all tracks have showcased these advancements. Despite their dominant performance in Austin and Mexico, Leclerc cautions against assuming Ferrari will win every race moving forward. He acknowledges the strength of McLaren, noting Lando Norris’s impressive performance in Mexico, and admits some luck played a role in their recent success.

Perez’s Future at Red Bull in Question

Sergio Perez faces uncertainty about his future with Red Bull after a challenging Mexican Grand Prix. Despite finishing last, Perez insists he isn’t worried about his position, even as team principal Christian Horner suggests a possible reevaluation. Perez’s struggles included a grid penalty and damage from a tussle with RB Liam Lawson.

Norris vs. Verstappen: A Motivating Rivalry

Lando Norris finds his ongoing battle with Max Verstappen to be motivating. The two drivers have frequently gone wheel-to-wheel, with the Mexico City Grand Prix adding another chapter to their rivalry. Verstappen’s penalties and Norris’s strong finish have narrowed the championship gap to 47 points. Norris remains focused and looks forward to another strong performance in Sao Paulo.

Ferrari’s recent victories have propelled them to P2 in the standings, posing a serious threat to McLaren’s lead. Leclerc emphasizes the importance of staying focused and not being influenced by past successes. With the constructors’ championship still wide open, Ferrari aims to keep up their momentum and deliver strong performances.

Ferrari’s resurgence and intense battles between Red Bull, McLaren, and Ferrari sets the stage for an exciting conclusion to the season. As teams head into the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, the constructors’ championship remains anyone’s game.
