Leclerc: ‘Bit of a shame’ to be P4 with ‘really good lap’ at Suzuka
Despite using up more Soft tyres earlier in qualifying, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was able to secure a place on the second row for the race at Suzuka. He admits to being moderately disappointed that his good lap only resulted in P4. Leclerc believes Ferrari lost significant time to Max Verstappen’s Red Bull and the McLarens in the opening sector of the track. He expects Red Bull’s Sergio Perez to be much improved in the race, but acknowledges that it will be difficult to overtake the McLarens due to their race pace. Leclerc anticipates the race to be challenging due to the severe tyre degradation.
