Leclerc 'didn't expect to be so close to Red Bull' in Austria F1 qualifying

Leclerc didn't expect to be so close to Red Bull's Max Verstappen in AustrianGP qualifying after he missed out on pole by just 0.048s. F1

Ferrari brought a revised floor and front wing to the sprint weekend at the Red Bull Ring as part of its strategy to fast-track plenty of smaller upgrades this year.

"I don't think we expected to be so close to the Red Bulls, so it's a good step forward," said Leclerc after conceding just 0.048s to the Dutchman. "It feels good to finally have a clean qualifying again and to be back on the front row, the feeling has been a bit better in the last few races. Therefore, the jury is still out on whether Leclerc and Sainz can stay up front or whether their race pace issues strike again at a track that punishes the tyres much more than the previous Canadian Grand Prix.
