We have problems and struggle, but speed is present, but our tires are destroyed faster than other tires. So it’s a big help to start the race on a medium tire mix."
A racer caused problems on qualifying day strong wind, which he also confirmed Leclerc. "This windless track in a Formula 1 car is also a huge challenge, as it’s crazy how fast we drive through Maggots and Becketts. And the wind did not make this work easier for us. Fortunately, the conditions were constant in the third training and qualifications, on Friday it was different, as the wind was constantly spinning in the first two training sessions. This changes the balance of the car, which means you have to react quickly."
