Charles Leclerc criticized himself angrily over team radio after qualifying in sixth place for the British Grand Prix. Despite initially aiming for pole position, he ended Q3 in sixth place, unable to improve on his position in the final session. Following a strong performance in Q2, where he finished second, Ferrari had hoped for their first pole position of the year. However, Leclerc’s final attempt fell short by just over two-tenths of a second compared to pole-sitter Max Verstappen. Leclerc’s frustration was evident in his expletive-laden message over the team radio at the end of the session. Despite the disappointing result, Leclerc is focused on securing his fifth podium of the F1 season starting from the third row on race day. Ferrari expressed optimism over their car’s long-run pace during Friday practice leading up to the grand prix.
