Leclerc explains his Ferrari has been very difficult to drive

Charles Leclerc had a day to forget on Saturday’s qualifying session at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Monegasque crashed his Ferrari SF-23 in the closing minutes of the session, bringing out the red flag.

“I mean, I had two laps consecutive there and I tried to give it [my] all, but unfortunately it didn’t work out.” Leclerc commented afterwards.

Leclerc sees Hamilton move to Ferrari as ‘incredible opportunity’

“We’ve had a very difficult balance and a very difficult car to drive all weekend. There, I lost the front, then the rear, and I just couldn’t go around the corner, so it’s like this.”

The Scuderia had been struggling for pace throughout the whole weekend and Leclerc’s teammate Carlos Sainz was relieved to bag P6 in the sister car.

Leclerc will start tomorrow’s race in a lowly P9.
