Leclerc is self-critical: “I wasn’t there when I needed to be”
For its first under the colors of the Team Ferrari, Charles Leclerc wanted better than a fifth place on the starting grid for the Australian Grand Prix. The Monegasque was rejected almost a second behind the poleman Lewis Hamilton, unbeatable at Albert Park in Melbourne.
The new recruit of the Reds did not hide his disappointment after qualifying on Saturday. « I'm not satisfied at all, especially with the work I did on the track. I wasn't there when I needed to be, that's down to me. I will work to be there during the next qualifying session.”, analyzes the champion Formula 2 2017.

Charles Leclerc thus admits the weaknesses of his work, which at only 21 years old is not the prerogative of all his comrades. “In Q1, the first run was not great on my part. In Q2, it was better. In Q3 I made a mistake on my last lap, I think it could have been better. That’s how it happens. »
From the third row, the wearer of number 16 will aim for the podium on Sunday (start at 6 a.m. French time, race to follow with live text from AUTOhebdo.fr). “I'm going to give everything, I hope that a first podium will be the result. It won't be easy because it's not a track where it's easy to overtake »he concludes.
