Charles Leclerc, Ferrari new charming driver, was surprised by his performance at Belgian Grand Prix qualifying session.
Leclerc was astonished about his result beating Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton to pole position.
The Ferrari will be leading the race as it has fetched pole and second place on grid with Vettel. The young driver had taken the lead over his team mate by seven-tenth of a second.
The Monégasque was taken with surprise when he came to know about his third pole position. It “feels amazing” to him to start the race from front.
“It was very tricky,” he said, “especially in Q3 I struggled quite a lot. The start of the lap was always very messy because there was quite a lot of traffic with all the cars around.
“But at the end I managed to do the full lap correctly. I’m very happy. I definitely did not expect to be that much ahead but very happy with my lap anyway.”
Leclerc’s formation this season has proven quite competitive for his team mate. The Belgian German Prix will be sixth race, where he will start in front of Vettel.
“I’ve done some changes in qualifying and I definitely feel the difference and feel it’s going in a good way,” he said.
“As I said in Hungary now I need to focus a bit on the race because in some races I haven’t been as good as I wanted to. So now I’m trying to focus on that, to try to rebalance a little bit and we’ll see how it goes.”
Vettel managed to pass Leclerc at Hungaroring Grand Prix in the final few laps of the race.
“I’ve been analysing quite a lot Hungary,” he said. “Actually maybe it looked worse than it was.
“But there’s definitely some work to do on my side on this so we’re see if tomorrow it pays off. I changed a few things,m very small things, but details always make the difference at this level. We’ll see tomorrow if it’s any better.”
