Charles Leclerc is surprised by the difficulties
The words of Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc spoke after the Suzuka qualifying session, which ended in fourth place: "I honestly didn't think I could do a better lap in Q3 because it was really good. I put everything I had and there wasn't a corner where I think I lost something. I didn't have a slipstream and maybe that è cost us a little bit on the straightaways, but I don't think the others did either.
"We lacked performance especially in sector 1, the' we were struggling so much, I don't know why, compared to the McLarens and compared to Verstappen, losing three-four tenths. At that point we had to try to catch up in the other two sectors”.
"Max will do his race and we expected him to come back, but we are close to the McLarens, it will be difficult to overtake on the track with strategies, but anything is possible, and today we don’t know how things may develop. Degradation has not è been a weak point until this weekend and I hope it will not be tomorrow" either.
