Knowing he neede❀d to deliver on his final run of Q3 after wrecking his first flying lap with a lock-up, Leclerc l꧂ost 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 red flag which prematurely ended qualifying with no time l💦eft to resume the session.

“What’s unಞacceptable is doin✱g twice the same mistake in the same corner and I am really disappointed in myself,” Leclerc told Sky. 

“You can always find excuses in th🍰ose situations. The wind was re꧟ally strong, it was really tricky. 

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

“But I thought I wou𒅌ld be able tওo extract the maximum out of the car in Q3, which is normally one of my strong 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 disappointed in myself. I did the same mistake yesterday and this shouldn’t happen♌.”

As𒁏ked if he is putting too much pressure on himself to maximise the per🎐formance of his Ferrari, Leclerc said: “I don’t think so. 

“It’s enough most of the time but this ꧂weekend I did too much and I cannot hide my disappointment.”

Despite the incideꦬnt, Leclerc is set to line-up seventh on the grid for Sunday’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.
