Charles Leclerc had a struggling time today but still managed to make his way into Q3 and secure a P8 finish ahead of the Sprint race tomorrow.

"It is okay," Leclerc told Sky Sports, "I mean today for me was a very difficult day we had an issue in the whole qualifying and we are looking into fixing it or it will be very difficult to do the race like this. P8 is a good result for me."

Issues for the Monegasque driver

When questioned about the issues he dealt with in qualifying, the Ferrari driver responded by saying, "I won't go into detail but it's something on the power unit. It was very difficult to drive. Hopefully, this would be great to gain some position tomorrow but the points will be in the main race on Sunday."
