A brutal Leclerc left furious with himself after British GP qualifying: 'I need to be better'

The Monegasque was extremely upset with himself after his performance, cursing at his own ability.

Leclerc was unable to improve on his solid practice form, where he topped FP3.

It is very tight at the top end of the grid, as although Leclerc's time was only good enough for sixth place, it was still only +0.229 behind polesitter Max Verstappen.

The 27-year-old will line up on the third row of the grid just behind Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton, who was also disappointed with his eventual qualifying effort.

"It's more than getting away from me, I'm not doing the job," Leclerc began in the paddock to GPblog and other media present.

Leclerc has scored 26 poles so far in his Formula 1 career and has always excelled on Saturdays; However, he seems to have taken a confidence hit in 2025.

Neither Ferrari driver has won a Grand Prix this year, with Lewis Hamilton's sprint victory still being the only time that the Scuderia have seen the chequered flag first.

"We've had good qualifying, but we didn't have great qualifying. And again, this used to be my strength. So I'm not happy with the level that I'm showing," Leclerc continued.
