The disappointment was present. This Saturday, the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, behind the wheel of his Ferrari, ended in the eighth place in the qualifications of the Grand Prix of Canada, counting for the World Formula 1 championship. On arrival, the pilot was therefore necessarily disappointed.
The Monegasque has, in fact, estimated that the pole position was largely within reach. This is what he said, at the microphone of
Canal + : “I think the car was good enough to get the pole. I don’t know if it would have been enough with the choice of tires at the end of Mercedes, which put the mediums, but we were close. I was very confident from the free tests 3, so I am very disappointed not to leave in front. »»
Leclerc: “Hadjar did nothing wrong”
It was therefore nothing due to an error he made during the Q3, disturbed, at the same time, by the Racing Bulls piloted by the Frenchman Isack Hadjar: “embarrassed, it is not the right word. He (Hadjar) did nothing wrong. But with these cars, on a circuit like Montreal where there are rails, when a car is one or two seconds in front, we lose all the aerodynamic support. It’s extremely complicated to drive and I lose the back in turn 6. I was very frustrated because I think that until then, we were fighting for pole. The feeling was extremely good, so I’m disappointed. We can only blame ourselves, we left a little too early in Q3 and I made the mistake. It would have been better to lose a tenth in a turn than not to finish the tour. It was ultimately the British George Russell, driving his Mercedes, who won this pole position. The departure of the Grand Prix will take place this Sunday at 8:00 p.m. French time.
