It’s race week in Las Vegas. Expectations are high and the show is guaranteed. Under the spotlights Ferrari and McLaren in the fight for the Constructor Championship.
Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc have assessed their chances of closing the gap to constructors’ rivals McLaren  with the Scuderia just 36 points adrift of the Papaya Team in the title fight, with three rounds to go.

McLaren took over the lead of the constructors’ from Red Bull at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix back in September. But a strong run of form from Ferrari saw them surpass Red Bull for P2 at the Mexico City Grand Prix, and begin their chase down of McLaren.

With McLaren driver Oscar Piastri hailing Ferrari as favourites going into the Las Vegas Grand Prix –Charles Leclerc answered: “this is the target: winning the Constructors’ title. On our side we have a winning mindset. Everybody’s very calm and this is a really good thing. I think it wasn’t like that a year or two years ago. The feeling was very, very different. We would get very excited or be affected a bit more by what was going on. Now it’s not the case anymore.

“I feel like we are a lot more solid as a team and we don’t really get emotionally high or low. We just try to remain grounded and focused, and that’s thanks to Fred (Vasseur) especially. We are not affected by the media and what people say or not say. Another strong point is the approach: we continue to work hard, in the good momentums like the current one as well as in the time when we struggle more.
“We’re just trying to focus step by step and take one problem at a time. We’ve got a race to win this weekend and we’ll try to do the best we can to achieve that.”
