Ferrari had a double Q2 elimination yesterday during the qualifying session for the Imola Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc was ‘hurt’ after Ferrari's disappointing performance.

Leclerc has been a lifelong Tifosi (Ferrari fan), and his dream has always been to win with the Italian Scuderia.

What does Leclerc expect out of the grand prix?

He said, “Honestly, I don't even have a goal anymore.”

“It's just frustrating. I'm very disappointed with the performance at the moment.”

The Imola Grand Prix is one of Ferrari’s home races, which makes Leclerc's disappointment even greater.

“The only thing we can say is sorry for the fans that have done many, many kilometres to come and see us, and the best performance that we could give was an 11th and 12th place.”
