“With hindsight, I think I was probably the one to blame yesterday, and it happens – there will be qualifying that we do well and qualifyings where you do a mistake, especially when you have only one lap and then you pay the price.
“The only problem is that to not do a lap in Q3 here in Singapore is probably the track where you pay the price the most. But again, if I look [at] only today, I feel like we’ve done a really, really good job. If I look at the weekend as a whole, I paid the price for the mistake of yesterday.”

Asked if the fact that he had taken the blame for what happened in qualifying combined with the good pace displayed by the SF-24 during Sunday’s race had given him confidence for the remaining six races of the season – given that addressing his own mistakes may be easier than having to fix car issues – Leclerc responded: “Yes, as I said, I’ll get it right sometimes and I’ll get it wrong sometimes, and yesterday I got it wrong.
“I will bounce back next weekend – I mean next race weekend, because now we’ve got a bit of a break – but in Austin with hopefully a good quali again and a good weekend overall.”
