Six pole positions in eight qualifying, with the gem of eight front rows out of eight in the races so far. Charles Leclerc he is, at the moment, the best Formula 1 driver on the flying lap. There is no fear of denial in this and so, despite the awareness that in order to win the world title there will be the need to begin to realize these results more in the race, Ferrari can now pamper its protégé. In Baku Leclerc became the first driver ever in the still short history of the Azerbaijani GP to repeat a pole in two consecutive years. An extraordinary result, also underlined by the red ds Laurent Mekieswho wanted to reiterate his compliments to # 16.
“It was a very tight qualifying. Charles is now getting us used to his incredible laps in Q3 and today he gave us a demonstration of how at the last attempt he always manages to get something more out of himself and out of the car“, Declared the French executive. His attention was also focused on Sainz’s result, fourth behind the two Red Bulls but still in a ‘useful’ position at the strategic level. “Carlos was also the author of a very good qualifying – continued Mekies – to the point that after the first attempt he was the fastest. On all tracks it is important to be able to count on both riders in the top positions, but here we expect a very tactical match and having Carlos so close to the Red Bulls allows us to play on equal terms with our opponents “.
“Now we will prepare as best we can for the race by working together with our colleagues in Maranello – concluded the sporting director of Ferrari – we know that the opponents in the race configuration are stronger than in qualifying and perhaps they are a bit ahead of us in terms of speed on the straight. But from what we have seen in Baku so far, I believe that during the race the smallest details can make the difference and many aspects can play a role, starting with tire management. We expect very high temperatures and the race pace will be crucial“.
