French Grand Prix: Leclerc secures pole ahead of Verstappen | Formula 1

He is Leclerc’s sixteenth magnate, seventh of the year. He even got Carlos Sainz’s help to get a pole position. In the third quarter, without a chance of getting to first place due to a power unit change penalty, the Spanish driver helped his Ferrari teammate open the void to ensure Leclerc twice as fast. It worked. in the end thank you

If it weren’t for Carlos, it would have been even tougher. The difference was huge thanks to him. The car looks good. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow,” Sainz said.

Sergio Perez took third place on the grid. Alongside him is Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. Lando Norris, who wasn’t coming from a good weekend, stunned by taking fifth.

The heat wave that hit all of Europe caused the track temperature in Paul Rijkaard to reach about 55 degrees Celsius. While everyone was still slowly moving towards the start of training, Charles Leclerc immediately accelerated, putting the 1m31s727 on the soft tyres. Verstappen made his first lap soon after, but slightly less, with a time of 1:31,861. In the end, Albon came to ride in Sector 10, but remained on the playoffs list for the second quarter. With the timer off, Mick Schumacher managed to make a great lap. The weather could have given him a spot in Q2, but when he maxed out part of the track his lap was canceled.

Sainz was punished by the loss of positions due to the change of the power unit, and he could not install the shaft. Then play the team game. He tried to create a vacuum on the opening lap to help Leclerc find first place on the grid. I passed. Monaco then set the best lap at the start of the period with a scale of 1 minute 31 seconds and 209. Soon, Verstappen was only eight thousand behind the Ferrari rival.

In the latter part of Q3, Sainz repeated helping. Again, it worked. Leclerc cut the time even further, with the 1m30s872. Verstappen still tried to take it out, but couldn’t.
