McLaren's Lando Norris and Ferrari 's Charles Leclerc attend a press conference at the Shanghai F1 circuit SHANGHAI: Charles Leclerc said on Thursday that Ferrari will be closer to Red Bull at this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, but he still expects his fight to be for the minor podium places.

"I think in the race we will be , yes," Leclerc told reporters in Shanghai."But let's see. It's been a very long time since we drove here."
