Leclerc's first three races are the worst for a Ferrari driver since Felipe Massa in 2012.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won two of the opening trio of races in the 2022 Formula 1 season and in the other finished runner-up. This year, he has retired from two of the opening trio of races and in the other finished seventh.
Leclerc has had a wretched start to the 2023 campaign. His woes continued in Australia—an event he utterly dominated 12 months ago. Leclerc started only seventh on the grid for Sunday's F1 Australian Grand Prix, and his race lasted only three turns in the race.Quinn RooneyWhen the pack bunched together at the tricky right-hander on that first lap, Leclerc got a tap from Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and wound up beached in the gravel.
Leclerc had an engine failure in Bahrain, the outcome of which left him relegated 10 places down the grid in Saudi Arabia, prior to his first-lap exit in Melbourne. “I’m frustrated obviously,” he said. “It’s the worst ever start of a season, only six points in total, so frustrating.” The title fight is but a distant aspiration and Leclerc stressed now “instead of thinking long-term target, just finishing a race without any penalties or issues or whatsoever is a priority, then we’ll take the momentum and see what’s possible.”
