After dominating Friday's practice, Ferrari falters on Saturday, with Leclerc unable to trust his car. He starts strong, topping Q1, but struggles through Q2, battling a Ferrari that feels unpredictable. Just when it seemed he could grab pole, a mistake at Tabac ends his session abruptly.
Leclerc reflects on his crash, noting, “I was very much on the edge... it was a good lap.” However, dirty air at Turn 12 caused him to lose control. He finishes behind Kimi Antonelli, Max Verstappen, and Lewis Hamilton, leaving the home crowd disappointed.
The crash is not Leclerc’s only concern. He reveals ongoing issues with the SF-26, struggling to predict its behavior, especially under braking. “It’s been extremely inconsistent,” he admits, highlighting difficulties linked to tyre temperatures and more. With these challenges, Leclerc faces a tough road ahead as he aims to find his rhythm in the upcoming races.
