Charles Leclerc experienced another difficult Saturday at Silverstone, but after the heavy self-criticism in a Team Radio heat due to the sixth place remedied in qualifying of the British Grand Prix, the Monegasque driver made some sibylline statements about his Ferrari’s momentum.

“I don&#8220t think I lost the pole position – Leclerc told ‘Sky Sport‘ at the end of the day -. In the last corner I lost something, but less than the two tenths missing from the best time. But I have no doubt that I lost the front row, though. And I am starting to get tired of coming here and saying all the time that there&#8217s something wrong. The fact is that I am not finding the feeling with the car that I had last year”.

“The problems we have in Ferrari are very specific – Leclerc added -There are things that are a little bit’ strange, which prevent me from doing well in qualifying. However, we know where we need to intervene, and I think we have the solution. The fact remains that I have to do the work, and in qualifying I am not succeeding. I need to intervene, because Saturday has always been a strength of mine and instead I am now struggling”.

So Leclerc implied that Ferrari is dealing with problems that are known internally but have never been released in public. “The updates won&#8217t help, because there&#8217s more going on. We have never talked about it, and it is better that way. It&#8217s just that we&#8217re having a hard time dealing with this problem at the moment, hoping we”ll be able to solve it soon”.
