During qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc was sent out on the wrong set of tyres during Q3. It is yet another mistake Ferrari make and F1 analyst Timo Glock can only laugh about it.

Ferrari misses out again

Leclerc knew he would have to start from the back of the grid for the Belgian Grand Prix, as he was penalised for a number of grid penalties. Title rival Max Verstappen also has to start from the back of the grid, so qualifying was still important in determining which of the two would start furthest back.

When Leclerc came onto the track in Q3, he quickly noticed that the wrong set of tyres had been fitted to his Ferrari. Leclerc immediately asked what was wrong with the tyres, to which his engineer responded: "That was a mistake on our part."

Laughing

Glock was present on behalf of Sky Deutschland present at in Belgium and listened in on the team radio in disbelief: "You can really only laugh. I really can't think of anything more." In the end, Leclerc set the fourth fastest time, meaning he must start from 15th position behind Verstappen on Sunday.
