Development work is underway at Scuderia Ferrari. Maranello was eagerly awaiting Austin because, after Monza, Baku and Singapore, they thought that the US Grand Prix could be the most decisive for their future.
Well, fourth place and a comfortable victory answered the questions and significantly increased the Italians' appetite. If they no longer have a chance in the drivers' championship, they are targeting the constructors' title:
"Now we have to achieve the constructors' championship. Yes, it's an optimistic goal, but we're here to achieve results. We're not here to count, so the best thing we can do is focus on our own performance. That's what we did at the US Grand Prix! It was a really great weekend for Ferrari, in terms of team unity and the fight for the constructors' title. Our main task is to try to repeat it as often as possible! Let's hope we can do it, and then we can forget about the mathematics. We were really looking forward to Austin because it was a real test of our developments. And as you can see, everything worked great, which is very encouraging for the future. Of course, we know that we won't win every race, but we still have to believe in strong results. I hope there will be many more of those in the future!" - said Leclerc.
