Ferrari Struggles with Hard Tires: Leclerc’s Baffling Experience
In the high-octane world of Formula 1 racing, tire management plays a crucial role in determining a team’s success. Ferrari, one of the most iconic names in motorsport, has faced its fair share of challenges when it comes to hard tires. Let’s delve into the recent struggles faced by Ferrari drivers, particularly Charles Leclerc, and explore the reasons behind their lackluster performance on the unforgiving hard rubber.

When Ferrari brought Leclerc into the pits at the end of lap 39, they opted for hard tires. Unfortunately, these tires struggled to reach the optimal temperature in the cold conditions. As a result, Leclerc quickly lost ground, overtaken by title rival Max Verstappen and others. The lack of grip and traction on the hard rubber hindered his progress.
