Charles Leclerc would back the idea of running races around the opposite way at circuits ♐where it is possible as he feels it would connect back to his skills learnt in karting.

With Formula 1 bosses assessing how to start the 2020 season amid the coronavirus crisis, one idea that’s been put forward is completing multiple races at tꩲhe same track on the same weekend but to spice each race up they co✨uld use different layouts or even lap the track in the opposite direction.

While strict safety measuresඣ would be required to ensure any circuit is up to the standard u⛦sing a new layout, Leclerc feels the option is worth supporting to provide additional interest for fans and challenge to the drivers having completed a similar process during his karting days.

“I’ve seen something about doing races the other way around, that would be very, very coᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚol,” . “Th🍌is could be an interesting idea.

“We would definitely have to re-lea൲rn the track completely from scratch. I’ve done this in karting, to do one track in one way and then do iജt the other way.”

“I think it would be very exciting to do a track like Silverstone the other way around, to arrive so quick in Becketts and then Maggotts wou🦹ld be very exciting.”

With F1 likely to face a shortened 2020 season due to the ongoing delays, Leclerc feels i♑t will have a serious impact on how both driversౠ and teams approach each race.

The Ferrari driver is hopeful for a miꦯnimum of 12 races this year, while F1 bosses have previously targeted up to 19 races if the season can start in July, and Leclerc believes with fewer races it means more risks ꦯcould be taken by the drivers.

“We might have some surprises and it might be actually quite excಞiting to watch,” he said. “Probably we💮 will risk a bit more on track with risky strategies, risky overtakes and maybe it will pay or maybe not.”
