Charles Leclerc has been able to cause some incredible upsets this season in his Sauber, but the Monegasque was notably quiet this weekend, causing him to be very disappointed with the package of the team.

Sauber fancied their chances heading into the weekend, as they had performed well up to this point and had the great Ferrari power unit which was a big advantage on the very quick Monza circuit.

However, the Italian-Swiss team disappointed, both in qualifying and in the race itself. No points for Leclerc, who was very unhappy with his set-up for the weekend.

"This really can't happen again," the rookie told Motorsport-Total.

"We'll have to take a closer look because we were very disappointing this weekend.

"We have the pace but our down-force package was very disappointing."

Still, the Monegasque, who is heavily linked with Ferrari, took some comfort in the fact that left a few teams behind them.

"At least we stayed in front of Toro Rosso and McLaren, but I'm very disappointed that I couldn't perform on Monza with a Ferrari engine."
