Charles Leclerc has recently struggled to keep pace with his Ferrari teammate. A recurring brake issue on his SF-24 appears to be at the root of the problem, visibly impacting his performance.
This technical struggle means Leclerc has found it difficult to match or beat his garage mate's pace in recent sessions and races. As a result, the Monegasque has increasingly found himself in the shadow of the other Ferrari driver.
Finding a solution to these braking troubles is crucial for Leclerc, who is renowned for his ability to extract the maximum from a car. It is a clear factor currently holding back his full potential.
Ferrari's technical team will undoubtedly be working hard to pinpoint the root cause of the brake problems and resolve them. Only then can Leclerc mount a proper challenge and put pressure back on his teammate.
