Leclerc hoping Ferrari will ‘get back on top’ in 2026

Charles Leclerc concluded a challenging season with a fourth-place finish in Abu Dhabi, narrowly missing a podium spot. He initially pressured Lando Norris, whose title hopes hinged on a podium, but an attempted undercut strategy failed, leaving Leclerc isolated. Reflecting on Ferrari's winless year, Leclerc expressed significant disappointment despite securing one pole and seven podiums, finishing fifth in the Drivers' Championship. Ferrari also ended fourth in the Constructors'. However, Leclerc remains optimistic for 2026, citing an early focus on the new car. He looks forward to recharging and returning to fight for top positions.
