Charles Leclerc after the Free practice 2 session has indicated that his day out in the F1-75 was not smooth and has stressed some power unit issues because of which he was not able to extract the full potential of his car.
Charles Leclerc while talking about the gremlins on his F1-75 said, “Some power unit things made it very difficult to drive.” “It’s fine. It’s small set-up things more than problems, so we will modify it for tomorrow.” “Overall, the performance is in the car, so this is positive.”
The 24-year-old after the FP2 session has sounded confident about his chances for tomorrow and while delving into the issues of Friday has indicated that the problems with the car were not major and is optimistic about having two positive days for his team.
Leclerc feels the package that the team has brought to Silverstone is potent enough and that he can make it work when it matters. The Monegasque’s partner Sainz was the quickest during FP2 whereas Leclerc was P5 at the end of the FP2 session.
Leclerc is not too worried about finishing in P5 and is highly optimistic about having a smooth FP3 session and hopefully a good performance during the Qualifying session of the Silverstone Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc has to put his F1-75 in the top 3 during qualifying
Charles Leclerc has been superb this season when it comes to Qualifying as he has been able to secure pole regularly this season and during tomorrow’s Qualifying, the Ferrari team would be looking for much of the same and it is going to be up to Leclerc and Carlos to get Ferrari at least in the top 3 so that they will have a decent chance of winning the race.
The Italian team is currently behind Red Bull in both the Championships and from Silverstone onwards the goal for the team is to win as many races as possible and so that the gap to Red Bull can be closed down.
It’s the same case when it comes to the Drivers Championship, Leclerc is currently P3 with 126 points, and Verstappen at the moment is sitting pretty on 175 points to his name.
Tomorrow’s qualifying session is going to be a crucial one for Ferrari and it is going to be interesting to see how well they would be able to perform given Mercedes is also in the picture to secure pole during tomorrow’s Qualifying.
Who do you think is going to secure the pole position tomorrow?
