Charles Leclerc will be hoping to return to winning ways in the current season when he competes at the
Spanish Grand Prix on May 22.
The Ferrari driver was unlucky not to finish in a podium position in last year's Spanish Grand Prix as he finished fourth at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Leclerc came close to winning his third race of the current campaign when he finished second at the 2022 Miami Grand Prix on May 8.

The 24-year-old led away from the pole and began gradually building a lead, but as the stint went on Max Verstappen emerged as the faster of the two, and passed Leclerc to take the lead.
Therefore, Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-RBPT won the 2022 Miami Grand Prix with Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz Jr finishing third.
However, Leclerc remains at the top of the 2022 Drivers' Championship standings with defending champions Verstappen sitting In the second spot.
Having won the Bahrain Grand Prix and Australian Grand Prix this term, Leclerc will extend his lead at the top of the standings if wins the Spanish Grand Prix.

“Yes, I’m disappointed. We are very strong in terms of tyre warm up so at the beginning of every run we are strong," Lerclec said after the Miami Grand Prix.
"But after four, five laps they [Red Bull] seem to stabilise the tyres in a better window and there they are just quicker than us and it’s very difficult for us to do anything.
“But it’s like this and we need to work on that. It’s pretty clear what’s going on and hopefully we’ll get better at it as quick as possible.”
Ferrari are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-RBPT and Mercedes respectively.
