Leclerc<\/a> admitted the results have been underwhelming, but rejected the notion that Ferrari\u2019s form has been disastrous. He believes the Prancing Horse needs to take lessons from McLaren to close the gap to the front.<\/p>\n“I think none of us is satisfied with how it is going at the moment, that is clear,” Leclerc was quoted by racingnews365. “We came into the season thinking that we had chances to challenge McLaren and Red Bull in order to win the championship, and that has not been the case so far.<\/p>\n
“McLaren has done a huge step forward compared to last year, a lot more than anyone else, and if we compare ourselves to our competitors other than McLaren, it is not like we are having a shocking season.<\/p>\n
“We are second in the constructors’ [third after Canada], and as a matter of fact, this is not good enough, and we’re not happy about that and we need to find what McLaren found. But we also need to be careful with everything going on around the team because sometimes that can change the perception of someone’s season.<\/p>\n
“McLaren is doing an outstanding job, and we are absolutely not happy with the situation we are in, but we just need to find ourselves as well, just like Mercedes and Red Bull need to find the outstanding thing McLaren has found.”<\/p>\n
