Charles Leclerc doubts Ferrari had Lando Norris’ pace “in the car” at Singapore GP
"I would say yes, but looking back 🎐at the pace of the McLaren, and of Max, I’m not sure how many points have we missed today."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc doubts Ferrari would have been able to challenge168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris for the F1 victory at the S𝔉ingapore Grand Prix even if qualifying went to plan.
Leclerc coul🦂d only manage ninth in qualifying after his be🉐st lap was deleted for exceeding track limits.
Even wi🐈thout the deletion, it’s unlikely Leclerc would have started any higher than sꦚeventh after he struggled with a lack of grip on his final lap.
On race day, Leclerc recovered to finish fifth, just behind Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.
Reflecting on the race, Leclerc is unsure if the win was possible at the Marina Bay ꦉStreet Circuit regardless of where he♐ qualified.
“I would say yes, but looking back at the pace of the McLaren, and of Max, I’m not sure how many points ha♌ve we missed today,” Leclerc t♋old Adam Cooper F1.
“George definitely, I think we had the car in order to finish in front. I didn’t check again the pace of everybody, but what I’ve heard about Lando’s pace, I don’t think we q♊uite had that in the car, and I don’t know where the others were behind him.
“So a few points lost. I think it was ꦬa good recove🦋ry today. But again, we paid the price of price of a bad quali. It will happen that I do mistakes on the Saturday, and I’ll have good qualifying also sometimes. But today I paid a little bit of a bad Saturday.”
Lecl🔯erc’s chances of finishing on the podium🏅 were severely compromised by Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso in the opening stint of the race.
Once the Monegasque was unleashed, he showe﷽d great pace.
Regardless, Leclerc enjoyed the f🥃ight through the field despite voicing some frustration over team radio.
“Yeah, I did [enjoy it],” he said. “From the end of the first stint to the last laps, I loved it. The first 25🍌 laps were a nightmare, because I was just a sitting duck behind Fernando and Nico.
“And I was just hoping that they had to box very soon because of [the cars] behind, but it never really happened, and they went very long. A🅠nd I just had to wait.
“But overall, it’s been a good race from that moment onwards. As soon as they pitted, we maximised our points. We just paid a litt♋le bit price of a bad quali yesterday.”
