“There was a small problem on the c🐻ar but it’s like this. I think the team has identified what went wrong,” Leclerc said. 

“We’ve changed bꦕasically everything that was on the car a🌌nd it should be fine for tomorrow.

"An electrical issue, so it sh🏅ouldn't have any influence on our weekend, apart from theꩲ lack of kilometres and laps in FP2.”

The issue meant Leclerc missed out🍷 on valuable dry running ahead of Sunday’s grand prix, with potential rain forecast for Saturday. 

“That’s a bit unfortunate because that’s where we normally prepare the race and Sunday seems to be dry, so we’ll go a𝕴 li📖ttle bit into the unknown there,” he admitted. 

"But tomorrow should ꦅbe very different with rain around, so let's see.

"In FP1, of course we learnt a few 🐟things, then we did all the changes to learn more in FP2 that we couldn't test, so that's a🎐 bit of a shame.

"I think we'll come bac๊k with the car I had in FP1 as the feeling was pretty good, then learnဣing when you don't drive is pretty difficult."
