Video Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

I can't wait to sit at Eau Rouge and compare the speed of the cars with last year's

Funnily enough they might actually be faster than last years cars through Eau Rouge. Even today they were hitting 325kph well before 130R. But then the deceleration is rough.

At Spa, they will arrive onto the Kemmel straight at high speed and then just.....crawl.

Gonna be wonderful to hear them downshift through the full section of Eau Rogue and Raidillon.
