Knowing he needed to deliver on his final run of Q3 aft🐽er wrecking his first flying lap with a lock-up, Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari through the high-speed Turn 6 and spun into the barriers. 

The shunt, Leclerc’s second in as many days, caused a late rওed flag which prematurely ended qualifying with no time l𓃲eft to resume the session.

“What’s unacceptable is doing twice the same mistake in the same corner and I am really disappointed in myself,” L🐈eclerc told Sky. 

“You can always find excuses in those situations. The wind was really strong, it was really tricky.🎐 

“The set-up of the car was really tricky also, but I put myself in this condition. I wanted this set-up and I knℱew it would be tricky. 

“But I thought I would be able to extract the maximum out of the car in Q3, which is normally one of my strܫong points. 

“I know🦩 that✱ I’m also taking more risks others probably in Q3 and that is why most of the time I’m doing good Q3’s, but this is too much. 

“Very disappoint🐎ed in myself. I did the same mistake yesterday and this shouldn’t happen.”

Asked if he is putting too much pressure on himself to maximise the performance of his Ferrari, Leclerc said: “I don’t think so.&n📖bsp;

“It’s enough most of the time but this weekend I did too much and I cann𝔍ot hide my disappo💮intment.”

Despite the incident, Leclerc is set to line-up seventh on the grid for S🍎unday’s race in Miami. 

“I don’t🦂 know exactly where we are going to be but a podium would be a really good finish tomorrow considering our race pace,” Leclerc said of Ferrari’s chances.
