Charles Leclerc is delighted with claiming his second top ten start of the season following Saturday's qualifying.
Sauber driver Leclerc has impressed massively with his driving this season.
Such good performances have attracted attention from the likes of Ferrari and there are rumours that Leclerc could replace Kimi Raikkonen next season.
Leclerc was on the pace all weekend and placed a staggering seventh placed finish earlier in the final practice of the day on Friday.
He then ensured that he will start in ninth place on the grid on Saturday with a very mature performance.

"I am very happy to have finished qualifying in Q3 again," Leclerc said.
"This is great for the entire team, and it was a strong team effort.
"Now, we must focus on the race, and continue working the same way to have a good finish tomorrow.
