Ferrari's Struggles Continue with Charles Leclerc's "Undriveable" Car

Ferrari have struggled to meet expectations this season. The situation has worsened this year, with the team failing to win a race since the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix and scoring just 100 points in seven races. But the struggles continued when Charles Leclerc described his car as "undrivable" during qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix.

The problem was puzzling because nothing had changed with the car, there were no physical malfunctions or breakdowns according to reports from Formu1a.uno. This made it very difficult for Ferrari engineers who worked on Saturday night trying to figure out what went wrong. Eventually, they decided that fitting an entirely new rear-end would be best but that move condemned Leclerc into starting from Pit Lane.

Afterward, Fred Vasseur stated that finding out what caused such issues with Leclerc’s vehicle might take some time even after getting back home from Spain. Unfortunately for Ferrari fans and team management alike, it appears these problems are still unresolved.

Leclerc's challenges mean that he faces an uphill battle to regain momentum before continuing his F1 season. He currently sits seventh in the standings with just forty-two points so far this season - not exactly where anyone would have expected him or his team to be at, given his promising start to last season, when he secured two podium finishes before being plagued by engine failures later in the races.

The Monegasque is one of the most talented drivers in the paddock and his struggles at Ferrari could be a sign of the team's weakness. He has been vocal about his disappointment, saying: "I don't understand what we're doing wrong, but we're doing something wrong." The frustration is clear for many fans who have watched their favourite team struggle in recent years.

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna reassured the Tifosi that Ferrari is not going to withdraw from Formula 1 despite their poor form. In an interview with Eurosport after their first win at Le Mans since 1965, he stated that "racing is in the DNA of our company” and they will continue investing there because they see a lot of technologies that can go from track to road. While this may come as good news for fans of the Scuderia, it remains unclear when they will bounce back.

The Maranello-based outfit needs to make significant improvements if they want to close down Red Bull's lead before it’s too late. Charles Leclerc’s "undriveable" car has only added fuel to many people's fears about whether or not Ferrari can adequately compete against top teams like Mercedes and Red Bull Racing.

In conclusion, Charles Leclerc’s teething problems at Ferrari are just one of several issues plaguing the Italian team that continues its downward spiral into obscurity. With no apparent end in sight for these problems and competitors gaining ground every race week - even without having an issue such as this one - it seems likely we will see them struggle throughout much more of this season unless drastic improvements occur soon.
