"The feeling wasn't great, there's a big margin to improve but now we to do the step forward and find what was wrong for tomorrow." Asked how major the changes needed to be to revive Ferrari's pace, Leclerc said:"I think it's fine-tuning because already from FP1 to FP2, we did some small changes and it went in the right direction.
"So, we need to do the same for tomorrow. Now it's all about trying to put the car in the right window, which we don't have yet. "But I have a very clear idea of what I want from the car. Then we need to find the right set-ups to go around our issues. I'm confident. Normally we are quite good at that.
