Good news for Scuderia Ferrari: the technical updates on the SF-24 single-seater have proven effective. However, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend left a bittersweet taste due to an underwhelming qualifying session. Although Ferrari has narrowed the gap to Red Bull to just a tenth of a second per lap, McLaren managed to occupy that slim margin. Charles Leclerc expressed his frustration over the missed opportunity in the seventh round of the 2024 Formula 1 championship.
Leclerc's demeanor at the end of the Imola race was telling. Despite achieving his first podium finish at Imola and climbing to second in the overall Drivers' standings, his smile was subdued. Only the fervent support of the tens of thousands of tifosi elicited a genuine smile from him on the podium. The Monegasque driver finished the race seven seconds behind Max Verstappen, underscoring his sense of a missed opportunity, especially starting with a crucial qualifying session that didn't go as planned for Ferrari.
The updates Ferrari brought to Imola met expectations, but another element-likely the hybrid strategy-affected the qualifying outcome. Both drivers and teams anticipated that the race would hinge on the start, and it did, particularly for the podium positions, as there was no Safety Car to shake things up. This added to Ferrari's regret, as a better qualifying performance might have led to a different result. While Ferrari has closed the gap to Red Bull, McLaren's improvements have positioned them slightly ahead of the SF-24 during critical race moments.
Leclerc emphasized that the race itself was positive, with Ferrari drawing closer to their rivals. He believed that a stronger qualifying performance could have yielded a more favorable result for the fans. Highlighting his stint on hard tires, Leclerc noted his excellent pace, which allowed him to gain on Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. Overall, he took many positives from the race, including the successful upgrades and increased competitiveness.
