Charles Leclerc says he “can’t wait” for Ferrari’s “brand new” car concept which will be introduced next year following his latest crash in F1 qualifying at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Leclerc’s qualifying session ended prematurely when he ran wide at Turn 9, clattering the barriers.
The shunt leaves him ninth on the grid for Sunday’s race, on a weekend where Ferrari has struggled for pace relative to their rivals.On Friday, Ferrari head of aero Enrico Cardile revealed the team will introduce an entirely new car for next year - rather than an evolution of this year’s machine. He said: “Not a lot, but it will be very different, because developing this year’s car we realised that some architectural choices we did were not right.
“It was constraining the development too much. From there next year’s car will not be an evolution of this year’s car like this year’s car has been compared to last year’s car, but it will be a brand new car – different chassis with different design, different rear end to allow our aero [department] to better develop the car to achieve their targets.”
