As expected, Leclerc was unable to improve on his final lap and dropped to 10th at the checkered flag. After the session, the 28-year-old came on the team radio and shared an expletive-laden message over the team radio, saying:

“Amazing. Shit. What's going on? It's so frustrating!”

The Qatar GP weekend has been worrying for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari up to this point The Sprint race yielded no points for either driver as both Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton struggled to find rhythm on Saturday.

The problems have now moved to GP qualifying as Leclerc only managed 10th on the grid for the main race, while Hamilton will settle for 18th. It remains to be seen what the pair can do on the next day of racing, but expectations of an outstanding result are slowly but surely diminishing for the Italian team.
