“You always have to try to do better, I don’t like that we are 3 tenths from pole, but today there wasn’t more.” Charles Leclerc he is quite disappointed with the outcome of the qualifying for the Spanish GP. Fifth place even behind the Mercedes is certainly a bit disappointing because Ferrari expected to have made a leap forward. It was done, but even the opponents didn’t stand by and watch. “It was difficult – continued Leclerc – in free practice 3 I had found confidence and that’s what we have to look at because on this track you can always do better. The race? In normal conditions I think we’re in the running for third place, for I think the first two places are difficult because the race pace wasn’t enough. I think we’ll be fighting with Mercedes, then if it rains you never know what can happen.”

This is the analysis of the team principal Fred Vasseur: “Leclerc made a mistake in Q3 – he said – it can happen but we could have achieved a good third position without that episode in turn 5. We saved a set of red tires for tomorrow, it will be an advantage especially against Mercedes. I’m not a fan of this circuit, but we had a good qualifying overall. We should put everything together in the race, hopefully. The others bring them too, we should have a good race with what we have we will experience ups and downs with the various teams, we must think about scoring points from tomorrow. We have a lot of pace and a set of new tires – concluded the team principal – we can certainly recover, we will also see if it rains, even if with a better track. cold, I think we can do better.”
