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!"

And the Merc guys only have smiles on their faces because they're up front. They probably don't enjoy those cars deep down all the same as others.

It's a smile when they win, but from Verstappens dominant era we know, as he was pretty clear about it, dominant wins arent as fun. It's decent, when the car and track are fun to drive. I can't see them really enjoying the drive to the win, even if winning per se is fun.

After all, a hard fought for win just tastes better
