Leclerc isn't expecting miracles in Singapore.

      Theoretically, the Singapore circuit suits Ferrari cars, but Charles Leclerc doesn't expect miracles – the track suits McLaren too...

      Charles Leclerc: "I don't think we should expect miracles here. In Baku our car had pace; you can't say we were uncompetitive there, we just didn't perform at our best in qualifying. From that point of view the result here could be better, but the pace will be about the same.

      Probably McLaren will gain a big advantage on this circuit, and we'll be behind, but we should still be ahead of Mercedes. Compared to last year the situation has changed. Simply put, Mercedes are faster when it's cold, and we're faster when it's warm. Likely, in the remaining races this factor will influence the result more than the characteristics of the track. It's going to be warm this weekend; for us that's a chance in the fight with Mercedes that we need to take advantage of.

      Can we win a race this season? Unlikely. We're quick when it's warm, but those conditions also suit McLaren, and they're faster. In the fight with Mercedes we'll periodically gain an advantage, but we don't have the same downforce as McLaren. But 'never say never.' We'll see how it all plays out here. There could also be a chance in Las Vegas. To win we need a set of circumstances to fall in our favor."
