Charles Leclerc will be hoping to record his first victory of the current season at the
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver secured a podium spot at the most recent race which was the Miami Grand Prix on 5 May as he boosted his One world title ambitions.
Leclerc started on the second grid, but he slipped up which saw him finish third following an enthralling race and he collected 15 points.
Formula One title ambitions
The 26-year-old is placed third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 98 points from six races.
Leclerc is 38 points behind leader, Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT as the battle for this season's Formula One world title continues.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 Emilia Romagna MotoGP
The 2022 Austrian Grand Prix winner has been consistent this season as he is yet to finish outside the top four in six races.
Leclerc, who finished second at the 2024 Australian Grand Prix, has what it takes to win the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
What did he say?
"A tough race today. The first lap was a close call and thankfully we got away without any damage there," Leclerc said after the 2024 Miami Grand Prix.
"We held second place, focusing on tyre management. We stopped rather early, which unfortunately cost us after a Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car were deployed, giving others the opportunity to pit.
"We struggled on older tyres, and had to fight to keep the pace. We have our upgrades coming shortly, so hopefully we can join the fight for victories soon. Congratulations to Lando (Norris) for his first victory, I hope he enjoys it fully."
