Ferrari's lack of pace, 'motivation to outperform quicker cars'
After 4 rounds the Italians are yet to score their first podium of the season, when just a few months ago they were scoring top 3 results consistently and fighting McLaren for the Constructors.
"But then you go back into the car the next race and you still, at least for me, I still have the full motivation to try and do something special and to maybe win a race with a car that is less good than the people around me. So that's where I find my motivation, it's to try to outperform whenever I can. So motivation won't be a problem," concludes Leclerc.
