But with the Azerbaijan race up next, Leclerc said he was looking forward to getting back in the cockpit of his SF21

Leclerc added, “It’s happened in the past and many, many times I am harsh to myself. But if there was any time during the weekend I had to push [it was] Q3 in Monaco. It’s part of the game; you can always learn from it but I am not too harsh on myself for that one.” 

The luck was not on my side [in Monaco] but that’s life, I will get over it and think about Baku,” concluded Leclerc. “I’m very, very motivated to be back in the car and have a very good result soon.”
