Charles Leclerc will be eager to record his second victory of the current season by clinching the British Grand Prix title.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver was not at his best at the Austrian Grand Prix on 30 June which was the most recent race in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
Leclerc started on the sixth grid and he went on to finish 11th, but he got two points from finishing seventh in the sprint classification.
Formula One title ambitions
The 2015 European Formula 3 Championship winner remains third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 150 points.
Leclerc is 87 points behind leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and six points behind second-placed Lando Norris of McLaren.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 British Grand Prix
The 2016 GP3 Series winner won this season's Monaco Grand Prix and he has secured five podium spots since the start of the campaign.
Having finished third twice in the British Grand Prix in 2019 and 2020, and second, in 2021, Leclerc will be hoping to win the race for the first time this weekend.
What did he say?
"Unfortunately, this was a weekend to forget as nothing went as it should. The collision on the opening lap obviously completely ruined my race. We were hoping for a Safety Car but it didn’t come and I lost time behind Lando (Norris) when I had fresh tyres and could have pushed more," Leclerc said after the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix.
"The end result was that we couldn’t even score a point. Apart from Carlos (Sainz Jr)’ podium which brings us a good points haul in the Constructors’, the only other positive aspect of the weekend is that we were able to try various set-up configurations, producing plenty of data for the team, which will be very important for the upcoming races.
"Tomorrow, we will immediately start working hard with the aim of putting this race behind us, right from next weekend at Silverstone."
