Leclerc raises his head and Bozzi charges at him: “You worked your ass off and it was worth it”

Back in front After the one at the Red Bull Ring, another front row arrives for Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque, who in the last three weekends before the English one had only scored four points and who had also been clearly beaten by his teammate in the Silverstone Sprint, raised his head at least momentarily in Q3, taking the second fastest time behind Andrea Kimi Antonelli and showing that the measures made after the Sprint, including a radical change of set-up, are bearing the desired results. “Tell you what we changed on the car? No, I won’t tell you – Leclerc joked at the end of qualifying with the Canal+ journalists – but in any case it’s nice to have at least one session in which the feeling is there, at least a little. At this point we ask ourselves many questions – Leclerc added – but once again we have to be careful because it’s only a qualifying and tomorrow we’ll have to prove again in the race that everything actually works. But let’s say that the changes I made gave me a feeling with the car which I haven’t had for a long time. So I’m satisfied with this, then we’ll see in the race tomorrow.” Bozzi’s charge Just at the end of his last lap in Q3 Leclerc was also the protagonist of a nice exchange via radio with his track engineer, Bryan Bozzi. In fact, from the wall Bozzi encouraged and complimented Leclerc, also underlining the ‘deck’ that the Monegasque has made in recent weeks to straighten out a situation that was complicated for him. Below is the back and forth between the two: Bozzi: “It was a good qualifying.”
Leclerc: “Not much more could have been done this lap. I think we are on the right path. We continue to work. Everything is fine now. Thank you.”
Bryan: “You worked your ass off and it was worth it!”.
