How far away are you from the McLaren?
Charles Leclerc: “In the race pace, I don’t think we were that far away. If anything we were a little bit better on Friday, but today their pace was very impressive. In qualifying, we were definitely quite far to match their pace. Yesterday, the race pace was very strong but let’s wait and see tomorrow. If we have a good race pace, I feel like it can be a strong race for us and a good opportunity to score good points. We didn’t want to sacrifice too much of the race pace to be better in qualifying. I think P7 is the best result we could do today.” – Charles explained.
