Charles Leclerc believes that he is capable of catching Max Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship.
Leclerc is currently 38 points behind Verstappen in the standings. Despite a big gap, the Monegasque is focused on closing it and fighting for the title. However, Leclerc stated that he and Ferrari “need to be perfect” to make it happen.
“I mean, the goal is still to win the championship. So yeah, I don’t plan to lose any more points than what we already have,” he said.
“I mean, 38 [points] is quite significant. Doesn’t mean that it’s not possible. Again, I still believe in it as much as I did five races ago. But yeah, we’ve done few mistakes. We’ve had some reliability problems. And now we just need to be perfect until the end of the season. And I’m sure that we can close that gap.”
