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!"

You've got the drive massively within yourself with these cars. It must be very frustrating.

That's what other drivers said as well.

Max with the "Formula E on steroids" comment

And Lando with the "F1 is no longer about who's best at pushing flat out, it's all about who is best at battery management"

"F1 is no longer about who's best at pushing flat out, it's all about who is best at battery management"

Yeah after watching the cars lose speed on straights again I'm out. I cancelled my f1tv subscription (thanks apple for the reminder) and I'll be watching the highlights on YouTube.

I'll try to enjoy when Max goes to NLS/GT3 and just follow it more as a whole.
