Charles Leclerc surprised everyone by finishing in P8, and the rookie, who made it to Q3 for the first time ever, couldn't believe his own performance either.

When asked about his own drive by Sky Sports F1, Leclerc was struggling to find the right words.

"It's just unbelievable," the Monegasque said.

"It's probably the best recovery I did in my career from one day to another.

"Yesterday was a disaster, the car was not great and I was not driving very well.

"We changed the car completely today and I have no words to describe how I feel right now. 

"We all should be proud of what we achieved today."

With two Haas cars and two Force India's behind him, Leclerc will have his work cut out for him, but we wouldn't be surprised if Leclerc could hold his ground tomorrow at the Paul Ricard.
