It was an incredible qualifying in Jeddah, with Sergio Perez which concludes in front of Charles Leclerc and Fernando Alonso. Great proof by the Ferrari, with the Monegasque earning a great second place following a super last attempt in Q3. Despite that, la penalty he remains and Leclerc will be forced to start from twelfth position.
Leclerc: "We can do well"
It won't be easy for the number 16, who however believes in a good comeback, even if the Red Bulls always seem to be elusive: “Happy? Yes and no. On the one hand – said Leclerc in the qualifying post – It was a very difficult weekend in terms of pace for us, but I'm happy because I think I gave everything on my lap. It was really a lap on the limit, on the other hand the Red Bulls are on another planet and we are suffering a bit. Tomorrow certainly won't be easy; I have a 10-place penalty and we'll start a little behind, but we'll concentrate on the race and hope to be back in front as soon as possible. The race pace seemed pretty good, but it's very difficult to compare yourself to the others because everyone plays their own game on Friday, following different programs. All we have to do is wait for tomorrow."
