Another fantastic weekend in terms of driving by Charles Leclerc. Two pole positions, and two excellent performances in the sprint and race.

As Ferrari fans, he truly makes us happy even when there's not much to cheer for.

Thank you for the emotions, as always, Charles. pic.twitter.com/nS7w3UFM5e

Raced and tried hard after starting from the pitlane today. Made some setup changes over night to be more competitive which gave us much better pace than in yesterday's sprint.. definitely not weekend we wanted but leaving Baku with some positive vibes.
Eyes on Miami now!!… pic.twitter.com/88x9reMFY8
