Ferrari one step behind Verstappen, Charles Leclerc impressed: “Impressive work”

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc commented with satisfaction on second place in qualifying at the Austrian GP, highlighting the team’s progress: “It’s hard to explain how much work was done in the company, the guys did an incredible job and pushed like crazy. That made all the difference, and the feeling is good. I am never happy with a second place, but I am happy with the work of the team, which was impressive.”

“In Q1 and Q2 I struggled more, while in Q3 I did my best especially on the lap that mattered, so I’m happy 4 thousandths is a good starting point, and we’ll try on Sunday.”

Chances ahead of the race: “Although we can’t hide the fact that Red Bull’s race pace is really strong, I will do everything, and if Max leaves me an opportunity I will try to take advantage of it.”
