“Today it bit me” - Charles Leclerc admits he pushed too hard in Austrian GP F1 qualifying
Charles Leclဣerc pushed too hard in qualifying which led to his off-moment at the Austrian Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc has conceded that his approach to F1 qualifying for 🔜the Austrian Grand Prix didn’t p꧙ay off after running off the track on his final effort in Q3.
Leclerc was unable to i😼mprove on his last lap in qualifying, leaving him only sixth 🅠on the grid.
The Mo𝓡negasque had set a strong lap on used softs♏, putting him fourth in the order, but he dropped down to seventh after his error-strewn lap.
Leclerc initially ran wide at Turn 6 a♓nd then did the same into the final two corners.
The Ferrari driver was promoted to sixth after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’🌳s best lap - which was good enough for third - was invalid𒊎ated for track limits.
Reflecting on qualifying, Leclerc said: “It’s frustrating, because whenever you know you have the potential to do well, and you make a mistake yourself💎, it always hurts.
“But it’s like this, it’s not a disaster. P7 is not good, I think a P3 was possible today. Turn 1 and 3 was really, really good in my last lap. I was two-tenths faster than my lap, and then I did a mistake in Turn 4, tried even more to catch back some time in Turn 6, lost it, tried the same in Turn 9, los🤪t it.
“It🌊’s life. I think it paid off more than it hurt this year by pushing that way in qualifying. Today it bit me. And yeah. It’s obviously, I’m a bit disappointed, especially because the team we had two races or two, three races where we had a tough time, and I felt like today was an opportun♔ity to be back in the top three.
“But I didn’t do a goo🃏d job on that second lap. But the fi꧙rst lap on the scrubbed tire was really good.”
Regardless, Leclerc was buoyed by Fe𝕴rrari’s improvement from 🐎the sprint race.

Leclerc could only finish se🌊venth in the sprint after starting down in 10th due to an anti-stall issue in qualifying on Friday.
However, he was unable to mak🐟e any progress beyond the first lap.
“I think it’s loo🏅king better than what it looked for this morning, because we are in a different configuration that should help a little bit more the race pace tomorrow,” he added.
“So yeah. I’m looking forward to🅰 it, and we’ll see whe🦄re we are tomorrow.”
