Charles Leclerc did his best, placing his Ferrari number 16 in the second row. Fourth place for the Monegasque driver, who completed the qualifying session for the Japanese Grand Prix with a three-tenth deficit from Verstappen’s incredible pole position. It was the best result, as Leclerc himself mentioned, and he appeared optimistic about tomorrow’s race, weather permitting.
These were the words of the Monegasque driver after the qualifying session: “On one hand, I’m disappointed with the result, but I’m not too surprised: we expected very strong McLaren and Red Bull cars.. We knew we couldn’t work miracles. We were a bit off in the first sector, but that said, there are weekends where the result isn’t what you wanted, but what we learn is far more important.” “.
Regarding tomorrow’s race, he then stated: “As I said yesterday, I believe we’ve made a big step forward on my side. I’ve understood a bit more where I want to place the car to extract more potential. That’s the positive in a result that’s definitely a bit disappointing, because fourth place is not where we want to be. . Today, there was no more to get, and we maximized what the car had. I hope and believe that what we found yesterday will also help me for the race, so that I can get back to the front.” “.
