The Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)who first starts this Sunday in his Miami Grand Prix debut and is ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz, he said on Saturday that they hoped to maintain pace in the race and repeat Bahrain’s double.
The leader of the Formula One World Championship, with 27 points against Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who will start third in Miamijust ahead of his teammate Sergio Pérez, said they were “going in the right direction”.
In his opinion, almost everyone went well in the qualifying round this Saturday, including his teammate Sainz “great” even though the Miami layout is “hard and very slippery”.
That’s one of the complaints drivers hear, the lack of grip on the asphalt off the track, something that will help them when the Red Bulls try to overtake them in the race.
Because, he recalls, the three straight Miami Grand Prix was very long and would match the attempts: “If they are close, it is difficult“, he admits.
To oust current world champion Verstappen, said they count as a weapon that the “rhythm” of Ferraris is “strong”, giving them the necessary “confidence”as the single-seater has shown since the start of the season, four races have passed.
Leclerc achieved the third ‘pole’ of the year in Miami, the fifth gram championship prize and played on the circuit built around Hard Rock Stadium
Monegasque signed his twelfth ‘pole’ in F1 by covering 5,412 meters of the new Miami track in one minute, 28 seconds and 796 thousandths, 190 less than Sainz.
