After Monza, Marko admitted he was wary of Lecl🎉༒erc and Ferrari in Singapore: “Like every race, we have had a competitive car everywhere so why should that not be the case in Singapore.

“But I have to say Ferrari an🔯d especially Leclerc 🌠is a specialist around there. If they are faster in qualifying, then it could become a problem for us because overtaking in Singapore is very difficult.

“But I’m 𒅌still optimistic that the package we are bringing to Singapore is good enough to win.”
