Leclerc calls Ferrari wet-weather car a 'complete disaster'

Charles Leclerc has described his Ferrari as a "complete disaster" to drive in wet conditions after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. He started from 13th on the grid following an engine-related grid penalty, while team-mate Lewis Hamilton began from 20th after a similar infringement.

Leclerc said he struggled to get his tyres up to temperature, particularly at the start, and that the car felt like driving on ice. He crossed the line seventh but was demoted to eighth after receiving a five-second time penalty for a collision with Liam Lawson, a decision that cost Ferrari two points.

Leclerc called on Ferrari to examine its wet-weather performance closely, saying that going into the rain felt like a "coin flip". Mercedes had already sealed the constructors' championship.
