Ferrari star Charles Leclerc was happy for his teammate Sebastian Vettel as the German took pole position, but the 21-year-old also vowed to have a better run tomorrow during the Grand Prix.

It was the first pole position in 17 races for Vettel and the first for Ferrari since Leclerc did it in Bahrain earlier this season.

Leclerc was happy for Vettel but also blamed himself for the lack of performance, as he got P3.

"I don't really know I struggled with the car and with the set-up," Leclerc told Jenson Button on the grid.

"I struggled with Q1 so I need to work with that on trying to have the right set up for the final Q3 time. Congratulations to Seb he deserves it and hopefully I'll have a better race from my side tomorrow."

Leclerc backs Ferrari to maintain or even improve on their position tomorrow during the Grand Prix.

"We are strong on the long run pace and hopefully tomorrow will be the same and we can have a good run from there."
