For Ferrari, the weekend in Monza will be an enormously painful one. A year ago Charles Leclerc managed to win, but this year the team is colourless in midfield. Leclerc himself also realises that the problems at Ferrari are not easy and that it will take even longer before the problems are solved.

"When I walked into the paddock this morning, the memories of last year immediately came back. On the other hand, of course, there is also the reality that I take into account after the difficult races we have had lately. Spa was very difficult last weekend compared to last year and I expect the same here in Monza", explains Leclerc to Formula1.com.

Reality that it will take a while

"However, I'm still very motivated and I'm just trying to do the best I can for the team. It's certainly not going to be easy". Leclerc has a contract with Ferrari until 2025 and the problems don't seem to be solved in a year. So the Monegask will play an important role in the rebuilding of Ferrari.

"I think that unfortunately the reality is that it is going to take a while. Let us not forget that it is Ferrari and they can do special things. I believe in my team and I am sure we can go back to where we were. It is also my job to bring the team back. I hope, of course, that we can solve it quickly, but it will probably take some time", concludes Leclerc.
