Charles Leclerc’s words

Charles Leclerc did not hide his disappointment to the Sky Sports microphones after his retirement in Bahrain: “We were not fast in the race, obviously referring to Red Bull. Our goal is to beat them, but we didn’t have the performance to compete.”

“At the race pace level we have to grow because we are too far away. They obviously found something special, because we have never seen a similar performance. In qualifying we are all close, then in the race they are often a second faster than us. Really in another category.”

Charles Leclerc is the third driver from the Principality to have participated in the Formula 1 World Championship after Louis Chiron and Olivier Beretta, as well as the youngest ever to have won a Grand Prix driving a Ferrari single-seater. In 2019, he made his debut with the Rossa, taking Kimi Raikkonen’s place, and in March he scored his first career pole position, in Bahrain. His first success with the Prancing Horse came at the Spa circuit in Belgium on September 1, 2019.
