Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) did not go further than Q2 during qualifying for the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix this Saturday, June 17. The Monegasque suffered from a faulty strategy on the part of the pit wall of the Scuderia.

On a drying track, Charles Leclerc had asked to put on soft slick tires from the start of Q2. A request reiterated on another occasion but invalidated by the engineers of the Reds, who preferred to bet on intermediate rubbers.
However, when the rain reappeared, Ferrari had finally agreed to change tires on the car. It was unfortunately too late to hope to improve his time because the track was getting too wet. In addition, the new tires were not ready when the Francophone returned to his pit!

Asked by Canal +, Charles Leclerc did his best to contain his frustration. “We will have a discussion, it has to stay inside the team. I’m really not happy today, again. Other drivers did like me and they still made it to Q3.
It creates frustration. We have to be better than that, but I’ve been saying that for a long time. I hope to be a little more listened to in the future. »
Charles Leclerc set the 11th fastest time in qualifying.
