The Ferrari driver produced a special lap with his final run of Q3 to put his car on the front row alongside168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s Red Bull, almost two tenths clear of the next quickeꦐst car. 

It was a result that surprised Leclerc, who admitted he was concerned about being dumped out in the first part of qualifying due to the “v💛ery peaky” nature of his SF-23.

"For some reason, again, our car is very peaky so whenever we are on scrubbed tyres, lik�ꦫ�e the first run in Q3 was a very good lap, but we were last,” Leclerc explained. 

"I didn't have many 🤪hopes. But then when we put on the new tyres, everything๊ comes alive.

"It felt great. Again, I did a gr𓆏eat lap. Really happy to be on the front row. But it's a big surprise.”

The Moneꦆgasque added: "Honestly, considering the weekend we've had until now, I did not expect it at all, the last lap. I knew I had to put absolutely 🌟everything together.

"I did the last corner, was a bit too much 🌠slid🌠ing. But I think everybody has had that.

"Q1 and Q2, I was worried to go 🍬through and𝓰 at the end a front row, so it's amazing.”

Leclerc’s Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz did suffer a shock Q1 elimination in a lowly 16th, which he blamed on tra⛄ffic. 

Now Leclerc is determined to ensure Ferrari overhaul Merced﷽es, who currently hold second place in the constructors’ champ🍌ionship by virtue of a slender four-point cushion. 

Mercedes drivers168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton will start Sunday’s se🎉ason finale from fourth and 11th respectiv𓄧ely.

“That's the🍨 target. It is to beat [Mercedes] in the constructors' championship,” Leclerc said. 

"I really hope Carlos [Sainz, eliminated i🔥n Q1] can ha💖ve a great start and then join me in the fight.

"Let's try and put both of our cars in front of both Mercedes and come back home with a second place in the cܫonstructors'. That is all that matters to me this weekend."
