Charles Leclerc insists Ferrari won’t ‘give up’ on 2025 season
“No, we definitely don’t want to give up now” the Monegasque said ahead of his home race.
“I mean, we’re getting to mid-season soon, but we cannot afford to give up now. We’ve seen last year the situation changed a lot since when McLaren brought those upgrades.
“I believe that in Barcelona will be another very important point of the season with this new regulation on the front wings, and then we’ll see whether it benefits us or not.”

Martin Brundle on two-stop rule:
“I like the idea, let’s give it a chance. It depends on safety cars or red flags, if they happen. I’m surprised they haven’t said one pit-stop must be in the second half of the race.
“Will the frontrunners hang on to pit on the penultimate lap?
It does mean that you can’t get out in front, go at F2 race, and keep position.”
