Charles Leclerc deems his Qatar GP outing as ‘perfect’
While Charles Leclerc is looking ahead to what is to come next week, he has also talked about yesterday’s race at the Lusail International Circuit. The Monegasque genuinely felt that he delivered a near-perfect outing in the 57-lap event.
Leclerc managed a second-place finish in Lusail but his teammate Carlos Sainz, on the other hand, could only manage P6. Had the Spaniard also managed a top-four finish, Ferrari’s position would have further solidified in the standings.
However, there is everything to play for in Abu Dhabi. It is Sainz’s last race with the team before he moves to the Grove-based Williams from 2025 onwards. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, the upcoming Abu Dhabi GP weekend will be in the limelight for varied reasons.
