Charles Leclerc will launch from the front row alongside Brazilian Grand Prix polesitter Max Verstappen.
While Charles Leclerc expects Max Verstappen to be too strong during the Brazilian Grand Prix, he would love the chance to pass at the start and go into “block” mode from there.
So challenging was the weather that Leclerc considered pitting and accepting P10, though continued to the line and ultimately set a time good enough for the front row, with extreme weather setting in from there to end Q3 early. “But luckily, I kept it more or less tidy, even though I was doubting of coming in at the end of the lap. It felt so bad that I was like, ‘Okay, this is not good enough, I’m P10 for sure’. But luckily, I wasn’t and second place is good.”One-lap pace has generally been a strength for Ferrari in F1 2023, Leclerc having claimed pole last time out in Mexico, but it has been in race conditions where the Red Bull RB19 and Verstappen has become truly unbeatable.
“We did a few laps, but I think fuel levels of everybody is very different in this FP1 on such a format, so very difficult to have a proper reading on who is fast, who is not.
