LECLERC NAMES BIGGER GOAL THAN P2 IN TEAMS’ CHAMPIONSHIP

Leclerc made it clear he's not interested in padding Ferrari's year with a consolation P2 in the Constructors' — he wants wins. The Scuderia haven't visited the top step since Silverstone in July, and the Monegasque says breaking that drought would deliver "a much bigger satisfaction" than holding off Red Bull or Mercedes in the final standings.

Ferrari looked competitive in Singapore, collecting a double podium in the Sprint, but Leclerc pushed back on claims they had the fastest car. Red Bull have found form, Mercedes are expected to unlock their upgrades, and McLaren arrive in Austin with a significant package. The margins are razor-thin.

For Leclerc, second place is just noise. Winning again before Abu Dhabi — starting this weekend in Texas — would signal Ferrari can carry real momentum into 2027, not just a number on the year-end table. That's the only result that matters.
