In Austin, Charles Leclerc won qualifying for the 21st time in his career, although he was lucky as Max Verstappen was slightly faster, but on his best attempt he exceeded the track limits, removing his time.
Charles Leclerc: “I think our team did a great job. We understand that when the weekend is a sprint, good training on Friday is more important than other stages, and we succeeded.
By starting the weekend with a good performance in practice, we had the right basis and qualitative preparation for this weekend and the car immediately made a good impression.
During the whole qualifying I was satisfied with her work, although on the last attempt in the last session I made several mistakes, but I believe everyone had difficulties today. Overall I’m very happy to start from pole position on Sunday.
Of course, on this circuit it is not always possible to avoid problems in the first corner, but on the other hand, it is always better to start the race from pole position than from some distant rows of the starting field!
