It wasn't a nice one qualification in house Ferrari for Charles Leclerc. While Max Verstappen snatched the best performance, in front of the two Mercedes, the Monegasque finished in seventh place in the standings. An unpleasant result on a carriage that didn't fully marry Charles.
Missed expectations
The first difficulties had already arisen yesterday. Leclerc had gone to wall during the FP2 , third session, breakthrough with a different wingdid not bring the desired results. The goal now is to focus everything on the match, in which the Monegasque will be called to comeback.
Leclerc: "We have to understand the problem"
Maybe something more was expected from number sixteen who, however, analyzing his lap, was never able to find the right feeling with the car. In fact, Leclerc complained of engine problems and, at the end of qualifying, tried to explain what happened.
“Of course I made a mistake in FP2 and that's what you remember. Today I was not satisfied with the balance, There's something wrong with the engine and we have to look closely because I'm losing a lot in the straights. Overall the handling didn't quite respond to what I put on the pedals. We hope to understand what the problem is for tomorrow. The changes of structure? Even before qualifying we were expecting a difficult fight for pole even compared to Mercedes. As for the win tomorrow, it's a difficult goal, sure, but first of all I'd like to understand what happened and try to change it for tomorrow."
