Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc reacts to his third place finish in the 2023 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City, after starting from pole position but not having the pace to challenge the Red Bull cars of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen.
“Red Bull are in another league when it comes to the race. A very good (qualy) lap managed to put us in front but over 51 laps it was just not possible, they have so much pace than us in race pace. They found something that we didn’t yet. The feeling is a little bit better but when I see the gap, we don’t really know how much we closed the gap. The Aston Martin was also really quick so we have some work to do. Fernando was pushing, I knew what his intentions were at the beginning. At the end it was close but not enough for Fernando today.” – Charles Leclerc said immediately after the Baku event.
