Despite finishing just a tenth behind Perez in SaudiArabianGP qualifying, Leclerc still believes Red Bull is on 'another planet' in terms of pace. F1
Charles Leclerc has no doubts that Red Bull remains on"another planet" despite getting close to pole position man Sergio Perez in qualifying for Formula 1's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.While Leclerc has come into the Jeddah weekend knowing that he faced a 10-place grid penalty, it still meant he had to push things to the max to ensure he did not start too far down the order.
With Ferrari having not appeared to have the potential to overcome Red Bull, and knowing that Max Verstappen had been so strong in practice prior to the driveshaft problem that put him out in Q2, Leclerc remained realistic about the gap to the front. "On the other hand, Red Bull are on another planet. And we are struggling a little bit. So, we need to keep pushing. But that's what we are doing as a team.
While Ferrari spent much of its focus in qualifying on sorting out its race pace, having struggled so much in Bahrain, Leclerc did not see an easy route forward."The race pace looks quite good," he said."But it's very difficult to compare, because in FP2, everybody has a very different program.
