A result which, looking in terms of numbers, is not satisfactory, but it was also difficult to do better. Charles Leclerc closes qualifying for the Hungarian GP sixth place in the standings, behind Lewis Hamilton and behind his teammate Carlos Sainz. A result that still shows Ferrari's various difficulties. There red is still behind McLaren, the best team on the track, Verstappen's Red Bull and fighting, at least for this weekend, with Mercedes, considering the fifth place of the seven-time world champion.
Leclerc after qualifying for the Hungarian GP: "Feeling improved, performance not"
Speaking to Sky Sport at the end of qualifying, Leclerc wanted to comment on his sixth place in Hungary in this way. “I am not happy. I have to say that this weekend the feeling was better, but the performance isn't there yet. The lap in Q3 wasn't bad and I think it was for a P4-P5. We couldn't have done more."
And now the race scheduled for 15pm
Tomorrow, therefore, the race program at 15.00. The Red Car's objective will be to try to overtake Hamilton too and position itself ahead of the two Mercedes, considering that Russell he will start from seventeenth position due to a strategy error made in Q1. Also worth discussing is what Leclerc did who, anticipating the arrival of rain towards the end of the session, took to the track with new tires in the first attempt of Q3. A choice which, however, ultimately did not influence his result that much, as reiterated by the Monegasque himself after qualifying.
