Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc comments and impressions after P4 in the qualifying session for the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix:
“It‘s only the first quali, so let‘s keep out feet on the ground and keep working very hard. But it looks promising for now and I am happy to be back a bit further up in the standing. I think we just have a much stronger car! Whether it’s in balance, as I was saying on Friday. I think the car is a bit easier to drive compared to last year. Then we have a bit more power and I can feel it. I knew inside of me I could make a good lap, but until you do it, you never know if you can. Then qualifying started, the feeling was good from the beginning, and I managed to do that lap in Q3 which I am very happy of.”
Do you think you will be competitive with the guys around you tomorrow?
Charles Leclerc: “Yes, I think so. But I have to say, that seeing yesterday, I am quite impressed by Alpha Tauri. They were very quick on the race pace & they will also start on mediums tomorrow. It‘s going to be tricky but our goal is obviously to try and at least keep our position. I think the Top 3 is realistically not reachable yet, but fourth and I will be satisfied with that.”
