Charles Leclerc expressed deep disappointment after qualifying only eighth for the Canadian Grand Prix, believing he had the pace for pole position. He was caught out by a snap at Turn 7 on his final lap in Q3, which he attributed to Isack Hadjar’s car ahead creating dirty air. Despite a crash in FP1 requiring a survival cell replacement, Leclerc felt the incident had minimal impact on his performance. He was confident in his car setup since FP1 and regretted missing the opportunity to fight for pole from P8. Leclerc approached Hadjar after qualifying to discuss the incident, acknowledging the challenges of dirty air on a track like Montreal. Despite the setback in qualifying, Leclerc aimed for a podium finish in Sunday’s race, depending on making early progress through the field.
