Charles Leclerc recriminates and turns over a new leaf

Leclerc’s words

Charles Leclerc can’t be too satisfied with fourth place in qualifying in Las Vegas: ""The first sector never succeeded for me, too bad becauseé over several laps we are really competitive and I’m very comfortable with the car, forè è a disaster in getting the tire up to temperature, Carlos could do it and I couldn’t since FP1, so è a disappointing fourth place. I tried to work in warming up the tire, but I never found the right way”.

“In free practice we were making good laps on the third, fourth attempt, while Carlos è managed to do it right away and that paid off in qualifying. I hope tomorrow he will have a good pace for the race. Tomorrow we have to try to stay ahead of McLaren, as we did in Brazil and as we did well in the last three weekends”.

"Today è it was difficult for everyone, in these conditions è it was complicated for everyone: there are details that are difficult to understand, just see that Hamilton was flying in free practice, in Q1 and in Q2 and then è so è back in Q3. Sometimes you have to slow down by 10 km/h at the’last corner to catch some gap and you get to the’last corner that you don’t have the’front".

"Strange things happen, so second and fourth ahead of the two McLarens is not è bad, but we have to materialize tomorrow", he concluded trying to see the glass half full ahead of the race.
