“What a car today!” Charles Leclerc impressed by the car after winning the 2022 Australian GP

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc claimed his second victory of the season within the first two races of the 2022 Formula One Career. The Monagesque started the race in Pole Position ahead of the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

His teammate Carlos Sainz retired early on in the race. The Spaniard lost control of his car through Turn 9, cutting across the grass, losing grip and sliding off into the gravel. Eventually, Leclerc’s main competitor Max Verstappen retired in the 40th lap of the race after a power unit failure.

Leclerc started the race on pole position and since then went unrivalled for the rest of the race. And the Monagesque claims his F175 was tuned perfectly to allow him to claim his second victory in a dominating fashion.
