Leclerc seeks Ferrari investigation after ‘crazy’ gap to Verstappen
Charles Leclerc expressed his shock at the gap between himself and Max Verstappen in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix. Last week in Singapore, Ferrari performed well, with Carlos Sainz leading Leclerc for a one-three finish in qualifying. However, this time Red Bull was back on form, with Verstappen securing pole position. Leclerc will start the race in fourth place, behind Verstappen, Piastri, and Norris. Leclerc admitted that there is work to do, especially in sector one, as that is where they are losing most of their time. He also acknowledged that McLarens have been a challenge for them and that the race is expected to be all about tire management and strategy, given the extreme temperatures.
