Leads Final Practice
Ferrari driver Leclerc topped the timesheets during Saturday's final practice session for the British Grand Prix, leading the way from McLaren rival Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's Max Verstappen - as rookies Gabriel Bortoleto and Ollie Bearman endured late crashes, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cooler more overcast conditions would greet drivers Saturday at Silverstone. The additional grip would help the already quick Ferraris as Lewis Hamilton would be one of the early leaders in lap time. Leclerc would bolt on soft tyres late in the session, which would be twice interrupted for crashes, and logged a lap of 1:25.498. That would be 0.068-seconds better than Piastri to lead the session. Leclerc has shown good speed so far this weekend and should challenge the podium Sunday in the British GP.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Last season started full of promise for Leclerc and Ferrari. They brought home two victories and two runner-up finishes in the first five races. That was before everything went south. Ferrari suffered a major mid-season slump and outgoing team principal Mattia Binotto admitted the team gave up developing the 2022 car after just 12 races to focus fully on the 2023 machine. The single-lap pace was an eye opener, though. After Binotto says the team stopped development Leclerc still managed to score three more front row starts. Race pace and race strategy are where Leclerc needs his team's support to take one step forward from his second-place finish in the 2022 championship standings time. Frederic Vasseur, who Leclerc worked with at Sauber in the past, will take the helm from Binotto as Ferrari's team principal in 2023. That could be the key change Leclerc and Ferrari need to mount an even bigger challenge to Red Bull.
