Leclerc’s words before the start
Interviewed during the traditional lap of the track on the truck to greet the fans, Charles Leclerc commented: “To be honest, I don’t have high expectations. I think Mercedes will be very strong, especially Kimi, and then there are the others. We will have to start well; it’s better to start a little further back to take advantage of the slipstream. The podium? Yes, I firmly believe it is possible, even though it is difficult for us to overtake.”
