Charles Leclerc feels qualifying on the front row for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix sprint race halts his dip in form and 'stops people talking'.
The Ferrari driver completed just three laps in practice after spinning at Turn 16 and suffering a clutch issue at the Miami track. But having been a prolific qualifier in his F1 career, with 23 pole positions, Leclerc admitted he was struggling to find the right window with the tyres in qualifying which was partly blamed for a poor run of form. Leclerc qualified seventh for the Chinese sprint race and sixth for the Chinese GP, while he was eighth in Japanese GP qualifying.

'There are so many talks now, you are only as good as your last race in this sport, so when you have two races in a row where you are bad in qualifying and haven't done a great job people start to talk so it is good to stop that.
