Ferrari Sporting director reflects on Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel’s qualifying result. Laurent Mekies on the result in qualifying .

Charles Leclerc will be on the fourth spot on the grid and Sebastian Vettel the tenth, when the British Grand Prix starts tomorrow at 14.10 local (15.10 CET) at Silverstone circuit.

Scuderia Ferrari Sporting director Laurent Mekies comments on the outcome of the qualifying session:

“It was a very intense qualifying that ended with one driver fourth and the other tenth. Charles’ performance was magisterial, not just to get on the second row, the best we have done during this difficult start to the season, but also because he made the cut to the final part of qualifying on the Medium tyres, which is the best choice for the first stint of the race. Sebastian has had a rather troubled weekend so far and all the time he lost because of various technical issues certainly didn’t put him in the best possible shape for qualifying. Tenth place is essentially a logical consequence of that. Of course, we can’t be satisfied with this result, especially when one looks at the gap to pole position. We know we have a lot of work to do to close this gap and that’s what we are working on. Tomorrow’s race will be difficult, especially when it comes to tyre management. As usual, our aim is to bring home as many points as possible.” – Scuderia Ferrari Sporting director Laurent Mekies explained at the end of the qualifying session for the 2020 British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit.
