It’s better than we expected, says Leclerc after Friday – F1sport.cz

“On a track like this, we expected us to fight a little more, but in reality we seem to be mixed with the guys we usually fight,” said Leclerc.

“It probably won’t be as good a weekend as last year in terms of performance, but it’s definitely better than we expected.”

“The balance of the car develops during the lap, because you have little grip in the first turn and then you gain more and more during the lap. We will work tonight and hope that we can take a step forward for tomorrow. I will also work on my management because I lack a bit of speed here and there. “

Sebastian Vettel is waiting for the last Ferrari race. “We’ve done quite a bit of work today, but we need to do more because we still haven’t been able to get the tires in the right operating window, especially when it comes to soft tires.”

“As for the qualification, I think we will more or less find ourselves in the same position as last weekend. If we can put together a very good bike, maybe we will get to Q3, which would be positive for my last race with the team. “

“I appreciate Charles’s nice gesture when he rides with a helmet dedicated to me. I hope we can give the fans something to encourage this weekend. “
