“I have no idea what happened“. With these few words the qualification of Charles Leclerc in Qatar. The Monegasque driver struggled a lot from the first laps of official qualifying on Saturday, but was unable to understand what went wrong with respect to the morning free practice.
Initially Leclerc tried to qualify for Q3 with the medium tire, suffering from the competition despite his driving sensations were positive. Even the transition to the softer compound was not enough, thus collecting a heavy elimination especially compared to his teammate Carlos Sainz, in the ten with the best tire for the start (the average).
“There was something strange. Honestly, I was within a second despite not making huge mistakes or out of the ordinary things – commented Leclerc – We have to look closely to understand what happened, why this time I don’t have an explanation. Normally when I’m in the car in qualifying I know what I’m doing well and what I’m wrong, but this time it’s not like that. It is truly a very bad surprise to see times so different from what we expected. We will certainly find something ”.
“As for the tire preparation, I never felt like I was in the right window. Especially in the first sector where I was 5-6 tenths behind everyone. I was not feeling well“ concluded the Ferrari driver.
