Charles Leclerc reacts to P2 in Suzuka qualifying: “Fast in S1, slow in S3” | 2022 Japan GP. Charles reacts to P2 in Suzuka qualifying.

Charles Leclerc admitted he was struggling to keep enough life in his tyres for the final sector during qualifying.

“It’s a very tricky lap around here because whenever you are fast in the first sector, you lose out in the final sector, and I tried to find that balance in the last lap, but lost a little bit the tyres in the last sector and lost a little bit of time. It’s so close with everyone so that’s nice, and we’ll try to have a good race. Very limited amount of data going into the race, so that’s always a challenge. The feeling as good with the car. Let’s wait and see the conditions – it seems that there could be some rain in the race, so it should be fun. It’s always nice to be here and see so many people being passionate about this sport.”
