Charles Leclerc says his own poor driving and “miscommunication” with Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz are to blame for his disappointing qualifying for F1's AustralianGP. Here's what he said ⬇️
skating into the gravel while the threat of rain forced a rushed run plan in Q3, Leclerc added: “It was quite tricky, but to be honest, I feel like we are quite competitive. But I just didn't put everything together also in the first run of Q3.
“So, it's a bit my fault because when you arrive to Q3 you need to put everything together in whatever laps you do. “We could have optimised it by having a better communication. But I also didn't do a great job today.” Leclerc did report that Ferrari was in no worse shape than how it turned out in Saudi Arabia, which means keeping pace with Mercedes and Aston Martin in the race should be feasible.
He said the troubled qualifying was instead a one off, after losing 0.2-0.3s that might have put him third or fourth but for driver error, meaning there was no need for Ferrari to “panic”.
