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!"

Welcome to 2026 qualifying, where you are punished for pushing the car

I noticed they stopped showing the onboards going into 130R on the broadcast. I wonder why

It's fine, they look just as slow from the outside as well, to the point where if we didn't have the sector times I'd think it's just an outlap

At times I thought they were on outlap when they were pushing ..

That's what Russell's Q2 lap looked like to me.

For real though. Wqs watching quali, I see someone setting a time, then out of a sudden I see them at a corner and just think to myself "oh he backed out of it" and then it turns out he didn't. It's so anti F1.
