Ferrari in the crisis: Leclerc's restoration endangered World Cup dreams!

In the last race of the 2024 season, Ferrari faces a difficult challenge. Charles Leclerc, who achieved the best performance in the first free training session at Abu Dhabi's Grand Prix with an impressive time of 1: 24.321, must be returned by ten places due to technical problems with his vehicle on Sunday. The Scuderia announced this on Friday after a battery change was necessary, such as Today.at . Ferrari could be badly damaged by this restoration, since in the fight for the constructor world championship title with McLaren, before the season finale, 21 points are still behind the British.

The Situation is also complicated by the fact that Leclerc is only eight points behind the McLaren pilot Lando Norris, which significantly limits its chances of the vice world championship title. In the first free training, things went well for the Ferrari team, which tested its new drivers, including Leclerc's brother Arthur as a representation for Carlos Sainz. Despite the hard competition, they showed potential, as f1i.com . While the conditions were ideal, the vehicle of Charles Leclerc was spotted in the Ferrari garage with a apart soil group, which raised more concerns about further racing opportunities.

The race will take place on Sunday at 2 p.m., qualifying will be held on Saturday at 3 p.m. It remains to be seen whether Ferrari can ride the title despite these setbacks. The teams and drivers now have to prepare for the highest concentration to get the best out of the remaining possibilities.
