Charles Leclerc is confident in his ability to convert his pole position into his first win of the season at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, as he has been quick throughout every session. Despite not using soft tires in final practice, Leclerc still managed to lead the way in FP2 and set quick times. He secured pole position during qualifying, although he was disappointed with his own performance in Q3. Leclerc acknowledges that Ferrari’s strengths lie in qualifying, but their weaknesses in races are yet to be seen. Despite starting from 12th due to a grid penalty, Carlos Sainz’s strong qualifying performance puts Max Verstappen on the front row alongside Leclerc. Leclerc believes that while Verstappen is the favorite in terms of race pace, he has a good chance of converting his pole position into a victory, as the car has shown positive signs during high fuel runs throughout the weekend.
