Leclerc’s pole position at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix sprint race slams the brakes on his downturn and leaves the critics speechless!
The Ferrari speedster had a bumpy ride in Miami, barely clocking in three laps due to a spin and a troublesome clutch glitch. Despite boasting an impressive track record with 23 pole positions, Leclerc confessed to grappling with tire tactics during qualifying, contributing to a recent string of lackluster performances. Securing seventh in the Chinese sprint race and sixth in the GP, plus an eighth-place slot in Japan, he sighed with relief after his Miami sprint, acknowledging the uphill battle of jumping straight from limited practice to full-throttle qualifying, all while conserving precious tire sets.
Leclerc’s relief was palpable as he reflected on the payoff from his season-long tire-tuning efforts, sensing a positive shift in his Miami qualifying performance. Aware of the fickle nature of Formula 1’s spotlight, he aimed to silence the doubters after back-to-back qualifying setbacks. Now, his focus shifted to maintaining consistency, aiming to replicate his newfound tire mastery throughout the races ahead. Despite the lack of extensive practice laps, Leclerc remained optimistic, hoping his strong sprint qualifying would translate into a competitive race pace, keeping his sights set on victory come Sunday.
