Because it's gonna be cold and wet (forecast at the moment). Anything better than P3-P4 is gonna be great, luckily Mercedes is so far off on pace otherwise they'd be in the game too

Yeah at the end of the race track went to 31C compared to the already cold 35C in Q3 and over 40C in the FPs.
Leclerc has an unhealthy amount of situations where he has made silly mistakes when under pressure from a driver behind. This is not normal.

It's one thing to be overtaken by a legitimately faster driver. That's ok. It's another to simply give up a position because of a silly mistake. This is embarrasing and even more embarassing for Leclerc to continue doing this after years in F1. A driver who cannot hold his own on the track against other drivers will never be champion.
Sainz is pretty good in wet conditions.

I agree that it is a limitation for him. Japan '22 (last lap). Japan '24 (went off in degner 2 when under pressure from Perez in the first stint). Vegas '23 (went off under pressure from Perez). France '22. Miami '22 vs Verstappen. Today, almost losing it in front of Norris but that is the beauty of the sport. All the drivers have their limitations. They are all different. In spite of this, he will still win something. Sainz managed to win today but he is not perfect either.edu2703 wrote: ↑28 Oct 2024, 00:02

Yawn. Say this on a weekend where the best driver on the grid (Verstappen) didn't also make multiple mistakes.edu2703 wrote: ↑28 Oct 2024, 00:02Leclerc has an unhealthy amount of situations where he has made silly mistakes when under pressure from a driver behind. This is not normal.

In Japan 22 is a miracle that he finished the race with the tyres he had.AR3-GP wrote: ↑28 Oct 2024, 00:08I agree that it is a limitation for him. Japan '22 (last lap).

Japan 22, Monaco 23 and Canada 24 beg to differ
