The 22-year-old driver discusses his chances of performing well at the Eifel Grand Prix as he revealed what part of the car will get special attention for the remainder of the season.
 
“We have a few more upgrades in Nurburgring, but again not major," Leclerc said.
 
"Still, for us, I think (they are) important considering the level of competitiveness. Then we’ll focus mainly on the diffuser for the remaining part of the season, but by when, it is not yet defined.
 
“Driving wise, it’s not a big difference. But the data says that it’s a small gain. So this is already positive. Now I’m looking forward to the next race where normally we’ll have something a bit bigger.”
 
Mercedes remain at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed McLaren-Renault.
