The 21-year-old 🧸Monegasque has moved to partner Sebastian Vettel in Ferrari’s revised driver line-up for the upcoming campaign after his impressive rookie season with Sauber in 2018.
Ferrari has been billed as the early favourites by its closest rivals Mercedes and Red Bul꧒l following a strong fortn🌜ight of winter testing, but Leclerc insists he is not getting carried away ahead of next weekend’s season-opener in Melbourne.
Asked what his personal goal is for Melbourne and whether he is nervous ahead of 𒈔his first race for Ferrari, Leclerc replied: “[I’m] not nervous.
“Obviously the aim is to do the best job possible. I think we’ve done a good job during the tests. The road i🃏s still long and to start a new adventure with a new team always takes a bit of time. But I hope to be as ready as possible.
"I will train hard just before Australia physically and try to be sure to be at my best mentally also to try and do the best result possible. 💛But in terms of result, I don’t have any particular target.”&nb🉐sp;
Leclerc, who got withinಞ 0.01s of Vettel’s headline lap time from pre-season testing, is expecting to ﷺlearn a lot from the four-time world champion.
“I can learn from him [Vettel🐓] a lot,” Leclerc explained. “It’s difficult to go into details because it’s very small things, a little bit everywhere.

“How he works with the team - Ferrari is a big team with many people. I still need to get used to so many people and yeah just the way he works w꧋ith the team and his feedback is al✱so extremely good so these things I can definitely learn from him.
“When I’m in the car I try t🍨o ta꧑ke off all the emotions of my mind which I think is extremely important to be fully focused on the job,” he added.
“At t🐟he end when I’m in the car I’m just here to do the job I have to do and I’m 100 percent focused on how I drive the car and not on what car I’m driving.”
