At the Australian GP he won't start from where Charles thought Leclerc, which closes the qualifications with the fifth time. Mistakes on the last lap actually compromised the outcome, so much so that he didn't cross the finish line and went straight to the pitlane.
Changes gave no results: Leclerc only 5th in qualifying for the Australian GP
Between Friday and Saturday the Ferrari The team immediately appeared to be the most improved, so much so that the times recorded suggested that the reds would be in the first two rows, if not both in front. Charles Leclerc, however, it disappointed expectations.
This is how the Monegasque commented on his qualification to the microphones of sky sports f1:
"For my part, I didn't have a good feeling with the car. Yesterday the front was fine, today not, then I tried an adjustment before Q3 and it didn't work"
Red Bull underrated
However, it was Red Bull who surprised the most. Also in difficulty during qualifying, with Verstappen complaining about oversteer right from the start, the English team instead demonstrated that it had more.
Leclerc talks about the world champion team like this:
"We underestimated Red Bull: they had reserve power in the engine because they gained a lot in the last sector".
The best solution? “Focus on tomorrow, the race pace wasn't bad“. The sensations, therefore, despite the result in qualifying for the Australian GP not being the one hoped for, for Leclerc must be to believe in it. The Monegasque knows he has the pace available to be able to fight for the positions that count. From this point of view, the words of Vasseur are also important as he reiterated the importance of not having to consume ('kill', as he reiterated to Sky Sport F1's microphones) the rubber immediately.
