Leclerc confused by fourth place finish, but still seeing the positives
Charles Leclerc believed he was in contention for a podium finish throughout the Japanese Grand Prix, mistaking a slowing Red Bull for Max Verstappen. However, he later discovered that he had actually overtaken Sergio Perez during a Virtual Safety Car period. Leclerc thought he had passed Verstappen and was in the top three until the last lap when he realized he was in fourth place. Despite McLaren’s dominance and strong performance, Leclerc sees the weekend as an opportunity to identify and address weaknesses, particularly in Sector 1. He plans to work on these areas for the remainder of the season and for next year.
