Leclerc 99% sure Ferrari will be worse than in 2019
Charles Leclerc has downplayed Ferrari's chances of challenging for the Formula One title in 2020, saying he is all but certain its current car is a step down on its predecessor.
Ferrari has already confirmed it will not bring an upgrade to the two Austria events which will start the 2020 season. The Italian team's poor performance in preseason testing prompted a rethink of its car's development during the hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Leclerc, who scored two victories and seven pole positions in his debut campaign with the season, has predicted a difficult year for the team.
