Charles Leclerc explains notebook slip in F1 testing

Charles Leclerc has explained his new note-taking approach after a spy shot of his notepad emerged on social media on Wednesday. Leclerc had his first extended run in the new Ferrari SF1000 car on the opening day of Formula 1 pre-season testing. The driver completed 132 laps in Barcelona. Leclerc appeared to be jotting down feedback after each run, writing that conditions. Asked about his new note-taking approach, Leclerc revealed he previously used a tablet, but found he had too much to trawl through at the end of the day after writing everything down. "Now I'm going back to the old stuff because I've had a few times in the past where I load up all my notes, I arrive in the briefing at the end of the day after doing 150 laps, and then it's a bit confusing," Leclerc said. "So I'm back with a notebook and a pen, which is very nice. It's something I'm used to doing. "We do so many laps that it can be confusing at the end of the day and writing everything helps me to remember, to be more precise at the briefing in the evening." Source: Motorsport
