“It will be very different this year. I think we would need the support but it’s a different situation we’re in. It is Monza. It means a lot to the team, to us and we will have to keep fighting.”
Vettel will leave Ferrari at the end of the 2020 campaign, with McLaren’s Carlos Sainz set to partner Leclerc from next season.
Leclerc insisted nothing but hard work would solve Ferrari’s problems as they face missing out on a place in the top three of the World Constructors’ Championship.
“It’s extremely frustrating,” said Leclerc. “It’s been a very difficult weekend for us. The race was not any easier.
“We’ve had issues on the two pit stops I’ve made, which made me lose quite a lot of lap time and positions. Then I tried to catch back but it’s very difficult for us to overtake, even with the DRS. We need to work and find something because this is very difficult.”
