Charles Leclerc’s wish comes true as Ferrari expect 'significant leap' with Austin upgrades

Charles Leclerc's request for upgrades has been met as Ferrari prepares a new package for the upcoming United States Grand Prix. Following his recent podium finish in Singapore, Leclerc has expressed concerns about Ferrari's performance relative to competitors, particularly Red Bull, and is eager for improvements to regain competitiveness.

Ferrari's new upgrades are anticipated to enhance their performance significantly, according to sources from Maranello. While the team has a strong aerodynamic package, both Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have noted that their race pace is hindered by an inferior power unit compared to Mercedes and Red Bull. Ferrari is focused on maximizing their results for the 2026 season while aiming for a second-place finish in the Constructors' Championship.
