Charles Leclerc is not satified with P6 and feels that he could have extracted more from his Ferrari in Portugal this weekend. Finishing with some good points, Leclerc feels that there was more on the table this weekend. 

"I feel like I have done a very bad choice today," Leclerc said to Sky Sports F1 after the race. "I think we took a great decision to go on the hard tyres but the medium, only for us, we struggled massively, me in the first stint and Carlos in the second. We had a lot of graining right away and we struggled with the compound.

"I don't have any explanations on paper it looks like a very good choice but once we made the race we struggled."

Leclerc feels he could have done a better job.

"If I look at the whole weekend I haven't done a great job as driver whether it is in Free Practice, Qualifying - I haven't extracted the maximum out of the car because I was inconsistent.

"From 8th there was not much better we could do, but looking at the weekend we could have done a better job."
