Leclerc: The updates should fix the car's weaknesses.

      After the British Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc explained that Ferrari is still working on refining the car. The Monegasque expects that the upcoming updates will address the SF-25's weaknesses.

      Charles Leclerc: "Ultimately, we lack speed. The team is preparing updates that should fix some specific flaws of the car. I hope these new parts will help us navigate certain corners more reliably.

      I don't want to go into details, but the car has a few weak points. We identified them and will try to fix them as quickly as possible."

      At Silverstone, Charles was among those who, after the formation lap on intermediate tires, went to the pits for slicks. The decision did not pay off, but Leclerc assures that this was not the only reason for his 14th place finish: "Of course, it didn't help, but even without that, I was nowhere all race. I was losing a second per lap and also made quite a few mistakes.

      I had issues just keeping the car on the track, so the day was incredibly difficult. We need to analyze everything to understand what could have been done better in terms of settings and driving to avoid such a bad result. But the race turned out to be extremely challenging."

Helmut Marco: The fight for the title is over for us. Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko summed up the race weekend at Silverstone and stated that Max Verstappen is not fighting for the championship this season. Question: After the race finish, you said on live broadcast that even getting close to McLaren is a difficult task... Helmut Marko: Unfortunately, that's true. After Max Verstappen's pole position, everything didn't seem so bad. Unfortunately, we relied on the weather forecast and chose dry track settings. In the rain, it was clear we had no chance. Question: How disappointed were you with Max's spin during the restart? Helmut Marko: Without the spin, Max could have finished third. We just have to admit that McLaren is much better. Question: What can you say about Nico Hülkenberg's first podium? Helmut Marko: After 239 races, he can only be congratulated on this. Everyone in the paddock is happy for him. Question: How seriously was the possibility of signing him considered at Red Bull a few years ago? Helmut Marko: That was before we signed a contract with Sergio Perez. Looking back, it was always 50/50. Sergio was winning then, and Hülkenberg was having bad races. Now he's better. The older he gets, the fewer mistakes he makes. That's why he has a contract with Audi. Question: At Silverstone, Max caused a sensation by taking the wheel of a Mercedes in virtual racing. What do you think about that? Helmut Marko: I wasn't aware, but why not? In real life, Max drives an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Audi. So there's nothing wrong with him also driving a Mercedes. Question: Rumors are circulating that Max's negotiations with Mercedes are ongoing... Helmut Marko: He may be negotiating, but currently, nothing has changed. Question: Is it true that none of the clauses allowing early termination of his contract are currently applicable? Helmut Marko: That's correct. Question: Does Max have a chance to win the next stage at Spa? Helmut Marko: That's possible if the innovations currently in development are ready for Spa. Temperature and corner characteristics should also work in our favor. Question: Would a win by Verstappen at Spa be a long-awaited turning point? Helmut Marko: Yes, but the fight for the title is still over for us. Only Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are participating. Norris has impressively re-entered this fight after two outstanding races.
