Charles Leclerc made a great impression in the first two training sessions of the year, first by finishing third, then by already speaking as the fastest driver. And with great determination.
In fact, in FP2 he managed to overtake both McLarens, and finishing ahead of the secret favorite is never a bad letter of introduction. Leclerc doesn't make much noise, but...
“It was very good. We prepared perfectly for the second free practice session, because the car is very easy to handle and gave its best. Of course there are still some things we need to work on and improve, for example I am not completely satisfied with the balance, but still we are much better than in Bahrain, in the tests. I would like not to lose heart, but after a day like that I am looking forward to tomorrow, and to try to aim for pole position!
It is important to underline that we have not yet seen the real performance of the others. Some hide more, others less, but McLaren will certainly be on top. Currently we see Red Bull struggling, but they are Red Bull Racing, you never know with them... Especially with Max Verstappen, it would be a big mistake to underestimate him, I am sure they will be difficult opponents, as well as Mercedes. An exciting day awaits us!” - said Charles Leclerc with confident calm.
