Charles Leclerc is satisfied that he has silenced criticism about his qualifying performance after securing the second spot on the grid for the sprint event at the Miami Grand Prix. Despite his recent struggles where he was outperformed by teammate Carlos Sainz in previous races, Leclerc attributes these setbacks to difficulties with tire preparation. Leclerc, the lead Ferrari driver in the main qualifying session in China, is content with his P2 finish in Miami, even after missing FP1, as he believes he has addressed any doubts about his qualifying capabilities. Looking ahead to the sprint race alongside Max Verstappen, Leclerc remains uncertain about the team’s race pace and hopes to contend for victory on Sunday if the car can deliver.
