The Monegasque happy for the second row thanked the men in his garage: “After yesterday’s bang they fixed my car with a smile, I’m happy to have repaid them. The race? We are on pace “. The Spaniard: “My car started at 11 and I didn’t expect it, it’s a pity because I was fast”
“I’m happy to start fourth, a good result for the guys who, despite the hard work I forced them to do, always do everything with a smile. I’m happy to have done well for them ”. The Charles Leclerc dedication is for his mechanics, who yesterday had to work hard to fix the car crashed into the barriers in FP2. Ferrari will start tomorrow from the second row, a good result also because Carlos Sainz, victim of a slight touch in Q2, was unable to pass the cut and will start only 15th.
Go and see what happens

Leclerc confirmed himself on the flying lap: “Finally a good lap in qualifying – he said – especially after the problems in Qatar, I’m happy to have put everything back together. It was not easy after yesterday’s accident, I had to regain confidence with the track and today until Q3 I practically only worked to try to find the limits more and more and on the last lap of Q3 I said to myself “Go and let’s see what happens” . I was afraid of finishing like yesterday because I had a big loss of grip in turn 2, but then it went well ”. What do you expect in the race? “At the start we will have to be careful because there will be a battle for the title ahead of us. I have to go through the first lap unscathed and after that I think the pace is there. Compared to our competitors, we have nothing to envy in terms of race pace ”.
Talk Sainz

For Sainz, on the other hand, a qualifying ended badly in Q2: “Unfortunately at 11 I lost the car – said the Spaniard – I didn’t expect it, I saved the spin but the rear wing suffered a small blow. I didn’t notice anything, but the damage was there, I tried to continue and do another lap with the damaged wing. At 11 I was even faster, the pace was there but after 11 the wing moved and the car started in the two corners later, I couldn’t make the time. Too bad because I was fast all weekend, but the reality is that a small mistake can cost you dearly ”.
