Charles Leclerc needs a “good surprise” from Ferrari to repeat Monaco F1 fairytale

Ferrari racer Charles Leclerc says his car’s specific low-speed weakness means it is going to be extremely difficult to repeat his 2024 home win at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix this weekend.

Last year, Leclerc finally found redemption around the streets he roamed as a child, taking his first home win from pole after several years of heartbreak and near-misses.

The popular win led to emotional scenes after the race as Ferrari's season got off to an encouraging start with one win apiece for Leclerc and former team-mate Carlos Sainz, as well as seven further podiums.
