While Charles Leclerc managed only P5 on the grid, Carlos Sainz failed to make the Q3 cut.
Charles Leclerc revealed that Ferrari were unable to get their rear tyres in the window on opening flying laps throughout Qatar qualifying.
But, Leclerc would shed some light on the frustrating trend following Ferrari throughout the qualifying sessions which meant more was not possible.Leclerc revealed that while the second push laps were not a problem, rear-tyre issues meant the opening flying laps were a write-off, meaning come Q3 he only had one lap in that window to secure himself the best possible grid slot.
“And then we struggled a lot basically with the first timed lap. We were very strong with the second timed lap, but whenever we had to do the lap straight out of the box, we were struggling like crazy with the rear tyres. “But all in all, we maximised with what we had. We just need to work for tomorrow to try and find the pace for straight away.”Leclerc’s Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz meanwhile had an even rougher time on Friday at the Lusail International Circuit, failing to make the cut for Q3.
