0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome to F1 News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Cory with the story. Ferrari heads into the April break sitting second in the team's championship. But Charles LeClair says they've got one big weak spot holding them back. From leaders Mercedes, the power unit. The Scuderia kicked off the 2026 season strong with podium finishes in all three opening races, locking down that runner-up spot overall. After the Japanese Grand Prix, LeClair broke it down, calling the power unit their main issue right now, though he knows upgrades won't hit in time for Miami. He also flagged other spots needing work, like tire management, aerodynamics and chassis setup, especially with every team pushing massive development, rates this year. LeClair rolls into Miami third in the driver's championship on 49 points, trailing Mercedes teammates Kimi Antonelli at 72 and George. Russell is 63, so Ferrari's grinding hard to narrow that gap and hold off McLaren.
