Rome, 8 March (LaPresse) – ‘It was a very complicated race. At the start, none of us knew what to expect, and it was very challenging. I was happy with the start, but unfortunately, I couldn't hold on to first place. It's difficult to defend yourself when overtaking because you don't know how much the battery will change on the straight.’ These were the words of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc at the end of the Australian Grand Prix, during which he was the protagonist in the early laps, battling with George Russell's Mercedes. ‘If we had stopped during the first virtual safety car, could we have done better? No, I don't think we could have fought for the win,’ he added.
