Red Bull driver Max Verstappen was so far ahead last season that catching the Formula One champion may feel like scaling a mountain.
So that's exactly what Ferrari's Charles Leclerc did to get himself ready for the challenge, which starts next Sunday at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Whether this makes any difference when it comes to stopping Verstappen remains to be seen, and if pre-season testing is anything to go by, it might not."Overall I think it's definitely an improvement to last year," he said during testing. "Very positive days for me."Frenchman Frederic Vasseur replaced team principal, Italian Mattia Binotto, whose relationship with Leclerc had become increasingly tense.
Hamilton's relationship with Mercedes remains strong as he negotiates a new contract and with team principal Toto Wolff pledging to give him a winning car. The 25-year-old Dutchman is already sixth all time for wins. The late F1 great Ayrton Senna is fifth with 41 wins and well within reach this season.
Motorsport's governing body FIA in December updated its International Sporting Code to require prior written permission for drivers to make or display "political, religious and personal statements or comments" during race weekends.
