Charles Leclerc made strategic tyre choices that resulted in him qualifying in P7 for the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, aiming to have better tyres for the race. In an attempt to preserve his tyres, he used an extra set in Q1 and only had one new set for the final stage of qualifying. Leclerc’s decision to run in the middle of Q3 left him vulnerable to improvements from other drivers, causing him to drop to P7. Leclerc took responsibility for the subpar qualifying performance, acknowledging that having two sets in Q3 might have been beneficial. Despite the disappointment of P7, Leclerc made the choices with a focus on improving his race performance and would bear the consequences, good or bad, depending on Sunday’s outcome. His strategic decisions were made in the hope of a better race result, and he remains optimistic for the race day.
