Leclerc’s Fiery Response: “I Am Not Happy with Max’s Traffic! Tomorrow, I’m Going All Out!”
In a thrilling showdown at the United States Grand Prix qualifiers, Charles Leclerc has ignited a firestorm of anticipation ahead of the race! The talented Ferrari driver snagged a commendable third position, but he believes he could have claimed a spot in the front row if not for an unexpected obstacle: none other than Max Verstappen!
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sport F1, the Monegasque racer didn’t hold back his frustrations. “The only thing I’m not happy about is the traffic created by Max in sector two,” Leclerc lamented, revealing that he had already addressed the issue directly with Verstappen. “I understand it was unintentional, but with these cars, every second counts. I definitely lost time there, and that could have been enough for second place. While the pole position was out of reach, we would have been much closer!”
Despite his minor grievances, Leclerc has reason to be optimistic. “This is a significant step forward for us,” he declared, reflecting on his revitalized performance with the SF-25. “We didn’t revolutionize the car, but we made some essential adjustments, particularly with a new setup that suited my driving style. I immediately felt the boost in performance.”
As Leclerc gears up for the race, he acknowledges the challenges ahead but remains resolute. “We know we have a strong car for the race, and today’s progress, especially after the Sprint, gives us hope,” he stated. “I’ve struggled with the new components in recent races, but today I found something that could make a difference. However, we must be cautious; the wind picked up today, which helped us.”
With the stage set, Leclerc’s intentions for the race are crystal clear: no room for hesitation. “I plan to be aggressive at the start,” he exclaimed, eyes sparkling with determination. “I want to chase that elusive victory before the season ends. I believe in the possibility until the very last moment. It’s not an easy time for the team, but starting from P3 means everything is still up for grabs!”
As the countdown to the race begins, fans eagerly await to see if Leclerc can turn his ambitious words into reality and deliver a spectacular performance that could shift the dynamics of the championship!
