Ferrari ambassador Marc Gene is confident podium finishes are not far away for the Scuderia following their improved start to the season.
Charles Leclerc in particular is putting Ferrari at the forefront of the battle for third position in the Constructors’ World Championship along with McLaren.
The Monegasque driver has finished fourth and sixth twice apiece in the first four races of 2021, while his new team-mate Carlos Sainz has contributed 20 points to a team haul of 60 which puts them only five behind third-placed McLaren – well clear of the rest.

There is plenty of praise for McLaren driver Lando Norris following another strong performance at the Portuguese Grand Prix.
Norris made it three races on the spin with a top five finish to his name and has already collected 37 points so far this season. A clear improvement on the eight points and 26 points he collected at the same respective stages during his first two Formula 1 campaigns.
While he is not letting the good form distract him from the bigger picture, the media cannot stop talking about the man who has arguably been the most impressive driver so far this season.

Kimi Raikkonen says that it’s impossible to tell after one day of testing whether the 2021 Ferrari engine is better than last year’s.
In 2020, the Italian team’s power-unit was the worst on the grid by quite some way, causing themselves as well as Alfa Romeo and Haas to have poor seasons.
Mattia Binotto and co are optimistic that it has been vastly improved for the upcoming campaign, while test driver Marc Gene has gone as far as saying that it will be one of the best on the grid.
