This year, Leclerc knows he is not going to be able to fight Max Verstappen at the top, given how far the SF-23 is from Red Bull’s RB19. Regardless, Charles’ innate talent allows him to pull off some miraculous performances, despite a significant deficit for the Scuderia.

Challenges and Optimism: Max Verstappen’s Penalty and Charles Leclerc’s Progress

Max Verstappen dominated the wet conditions during Friday’s qualifying session. However, his impressive performance comes with a setback, as he will be handed a five-place grid penalty for the upcoming race. This penalty is a result of him exceeding the allowed number of gearboxes for the season. Despite the penalty, Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Perez, will start from an excellent position in P2. The pole position that Verstappen missed due to the penalty was inherited by Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.

According to Crash.net, when asked if he could hold onto the pole position, Leclerc humbly replied, “Let’s be realistic, I don’t think so. Red Bull is too quick, and even with Max’s penalty, I expect him to catch up. We also have Checo right next to us, which will be difficult to keep behind. It looks tough on paper, but if there’s an opportunity, I’ll try to hold on.” Leclerc’s performance in qualifying was noteworthy, especially considering his previous struggles in wet conditions.

He expressed satisfaction with his progress, stating, “On one hand, it feels good, not to underestimate how much I struggled in those conditions a few races ago. I’ve been working on improving my driving, and today I felt at ease with the car. We made some decisions in Q3 that maybe didn’t pan out perfectly, but overall, I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made.”
