“It’s frustrating because, whenever you know you have the potential to do well and you do a mistake yourself, it always hurts, but it’s like this,” said Leclerc after the session. “It’s not a disaster. P7 is not good, I think a P3 was possible today.
“Turn 1 and 3 was really, really good in my last lap. I was two tenths faster than my [previous] lap and then I did a mistake in Turn 4. [I] tried even more to catch back some time in Turn 6, lost it, tried the same in Turn 9, lost it… It’s life.
