Charles Leclerc disappointed with his qualifying at Monza
Fourth in qualifying, Charles Leclerc was disappointed with his position. Nevertheless, he feels he couldn't have done better at Monza. He will try to move up the order during the Grand Prix.
He was on the verge of blowing up the Monza stands. Third in qualifying at one point, Charles Leclerc was beaten at the last moment by George Russell. The Monegasque had nevertheless completed a strong lap, but the McLarens and the Mercedes driver were stronger.
Throughout the weekend, Ferrari was in the mix. But the two other teams that finished ahead in qualifying were stronger. Whether in the exercise of the fast lap or in race pace.
The fourth place was the best result we could achieve, but it’s frustrating, acknowledges Charles Leclerc. I don’t like fighting for this kind of position. We are very close to first place, unlike last weekend (in Zandvoort), which is a good step forward.
Even if he is satisfied as much as he can, the Monegasque considers that his performance is not sufficient. He plans to give everything in the race to try to get on the podium. Or even to obtain a victory on his team’s turf.
The driver number 16 will have to make a very good start to succeed. The McLarens, who monopolize the front row, could create a bottleneck until the first turn. In this case, it will be necessary to squeeze through to overtake the two orange cars, top favorites in Italy.
