Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc admitted he was frustrated with his performance in the qualifying session for the 2022 British Grand Prix, after a spin on his final fast run cost him the chance to fight for pole position at the Silverstone Circuit, as the Monégasque driver will start the race from third place.
The Ferrari driver had been consistently battling on top of the standings during the first three practice sessions and also in the first two parts of the qualifying session.
The start of his final flying lap looked promising and Charles was in a strong position to take pole position, but he made a small mistake on the exit of Chapel corner and spun on the entry to the Hangar Straight, losing any chance of starting from P1 tomorrow.
No damage was caused to his F1-75 car as a result of the 360-degree spin, but of course there was a lot of regret for missing out on a front row start alongside his Maranello teammate Carlos Sainz.
In an interview after the qualifying session, the Scuderia Ferrari driver admitted that Carlos Sainz did a better job this Saturday, and blamed himself for the mistake.
“I’m happy for Carlos, he did a great job today. I spun in that last lap, I knew it was the lap where I had to put everything together and I didn’t as a driver so I didn’t deserve to be on pole. P3 is still a good position to start in for tomorrow’s race and hopefully putting everything together we can come back.” – Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc concluded.
