Leclerc, devastated: “I am ashamed to go before the cameras after what has happened”

Charles Leclerc It seems immersed in a negative spiral. After the drama of Monacothe Monegasque hoped to remove the thorn in his Barcelona with Ferrari being the team with the most novelties in the Catalan event. However, the joy was short-lived.

Leclerc lost control of the SF-26 in the first Q3 attempt and ended up with the car in the wall of turn 4. This prevented him from setting a single time and he will start from tenth place when he had a chance to fight for pole. The best example is that Hamilton stayed 2nd, 64 thousandths off pole. That’s why Charles was sunk in the mixed zone

“I arrived with a lot of speed in the curve, too much. TI have few words to express how embarrassed I am to come here and speak in front of the cameras after what has happened“But it is what it is, it has been 3 very complicated weekends for reasons I know and this time I feel like I was back in the rhythm, I was confident and I trusted the car, but I slammed it against the wall,” he said on DAZN.

Thus, Leclerc’s objective is to try to come back and enter at least within the TOP5. Much of his race will be decided at the start, where the Ferrari has proven to be the best on the grid. If he gains positions there he will have options, but if not, McLaren and Red Bull have weapons to spoil the party.
