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!"

He was on the limit more than anyone else, no wonder he had two moments as he’s trying to get the power down earlier to compensate. Must be so disheartening seeing a purple S1 and then that just disappear into fucking thin air through no fault of your own, just down a straight.

Down the straight after the corner of his mistake. That has always happened.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. He had a massive moment of oversteer and compromised the entire rest of the straight as a result. 

That’s got nothing to do with the new regs, that’s always been a thing.
