Ferrari has been dealing with a persistent problem for several races, according to Charles Leclerc.

The Scuderia have been upstaged by McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin in the fight for second recently, despite a podium in Austria for Leclerc.

The Monegasque revealed after the Hungarian GP, where Ferrari were seventh and eighth, that there have been radio issues that have lingered for nearly at least three races.

It has made communication during the races extremely tough for Leclerc in particular, who was even penalised for speeding in the pitlane in Budapest.

“The problem is that we have also a lot of problems with the radio,” Leclerc said, as per Crash.net.

“One out of four words is not understood by my engineer because there is problems with our radio for three or four races.

“We need to fix that, and obviously, my tone of voice is quite high because I need to make myself heard.

“But I just wanted to make sure that they didn’t understand me wrong and that I wanted to go aggressive early and not aggressive late. It was just about clarifying because of our radio issues.”
