Charles Leclerc finished the Canadian GP in fourth place but was not happy with his performance.
Charles Leclerc described the Canadian Grand Prix weekend as the most challenging of his F1 career due to struggles with balance and performance in the SF-26, coupled with issues with brakes and poor feel from the Pirelli tyres.
Despite finishing the Sprint in fifth place and the grand prix in fourth, Leclerc was out-qualified by team-mate Lewis Hamilton in both races.
He attributed his difficulties to the nature of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve not aligning with his strengths and considered his result more a result of luck, especially with McLaren’s strategy mishaps and George Russell’s retirement.
Reflecting on the tough weekend, Leclerc emphasized the lack of feeling with the tires throughout the sessions and races, making it challenging to find the rhythm and pace needed for a strong performance.
