Charles Leclerc left with ‘mixed feelings’ after fightback to P5 in Singapore as he takes blame for qualifying mistake

“With hindsight, I believe I used to be in all probability the one guilty yesterday, and it occurs – there will probably be qualifying that we do nicely and qualifyings the place you do a mistake, particularly when you might have just one lap and then you definately pay the value.

“The one downside is that to not do a lap in Q3 right here in Singapore might be the observe the place you pay the value essentially the most. However once more, if I look [at] solely at this time, I really feel like we’ve executed a extremely, actually good job. If I take a look at the weekend as an entire, I paid the value for the error of yesterday.”

Requested if the truth that he had taken the blame for what occurred in qualifying mixed with the nice tempo displayed by the SF-24 throughout Sunday’s race had given him confidence for the remaining six races of the season – provided that addressing his personal errors could also be simpler than having to repair automotive points – Leclerc responded: “Sure, as I mentioned, I’ll get it proper generally and I’ll get it unsuitable generally, and yesterday I bought it unsuitable.

“I’ll bounce again subsequent weekend – I imply subsequent race weekend, as a result of now we’ve bought a little bit of a break – however in Austin with hopefully an excellent quali once more and an excellent weekend total.”
