Charles Leclerc says there is "nothing to lose" going into season finale

Charles Leclerc is looking forward to the final race of the season and insists that there is "nothing to lose" going into the 2019 finale. Ferrari have had a chat about the incident in Brazil and are all on the same page and will hop for a good result in Abu Dhabi to propel them into the winter break. 

“I’d have to say that, even if the beginning of the championship did not go as we would have liked, overall it’s been a great first year for me with Scuderia Ferrari," Leclerc said. "I will never forget the wins in Spa and Monza and now it will be good to give it my all right to the final corner of the final lap.

"I know finishing third will be hard,” admitted the Monegasque. “But there’s nothing to lose and I’ll be trying absolutely everything.”

Many believe that the relationships at Ferrari are under serious tension but Leclerc has said that the team sat down after Brazil to discuss what happened. 

“Myself and Mattia and Seb all had a chat about it to clear the matter up and it all took place in a calm and united way,” explained Charles. “We know that what happened in Interlagos must never happen again, even if with hindsight, it’s clear there was quite a bit of bad luck involved because the contact was very light, but the consequences were enormous.”

Ferrari have put Brazil behind them and will hope for a strong result to end their season on a high.
