Elkann’s remarks reflect the frustration and disappointment at Ferrari, who came close to becoming constructors’ champions last year but have failed to win a grand prix this season.<\/p>\n
But they are said to be meant to be taken in a constructive way as a spur to improve.<\/p>\n
McLaren, who beat Ferrari by only 14 points last year, won the title with six races remaining this season.<\/p>\n
The constructors’ championship determines the teams’ prize money and each position gained close to the top is worth approximately $10m (\u00a37.6m) over the place below.<\/p>\n
Leclerc said on social media it had been a “very difficult” weekend in Sao Paulo – Ferrari picked up only six points overall, thanks to Leclerc and Hamilton finishing fifth and seventh respectively in the sprint race.<\/p>\n
Leclerc added: “Disappointing to come back home with nearly no points at all for the team in what is a critical moment of the season to fight for the second place in the constructors’ championship.<\/p>\n
“It’s uphill from now and it’s clear that only unity can help us turn that situation around in the last three races. We’ll give it all, as always.”<\/p>\n
Hamilton won the sprint race in China at the second race of the season but is yet to stand on a grand prix podium.<\/p>\n
Leclerc – who qualified third in Sao Paulo at the weekend but was taken out of the race in a crash with Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli after the Italian collided with McLaren\u2018s Oscar Piastri – has scored seven podiums, with a best result of second in Monaco and Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elkann’s remarks reflect the frustration and disappointment at Ferrari, who came close to becoming constructors’ champions last year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-275399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
