Leclerc had heart attack after F1 track limits radio message
During qualifying at the Circuit of the Americas, the Ferrari driver initially secured provisional pole position, but was beaten by Verstappen by a mere 0.005 seconds in the final moments. However, Verstappen’s last lap was invalidated for exceeding track limits, allowing Leclerc to claim his third pole position of the season. Initially disappointed, Leclerc had a moment of confusion before realizing that Verstappen had been penalized, not himself. Despite Verstappen starting in sixth, Leclerc acknowledged that he still considered him a strong contender for victory in Sunday’s race. Leclerc described his first qualifying lap as cleaner and better than his second attempt, which was more risky but ultimately paid off.
