“However, that means that maybe you don’t optimise your whole weekend as you are focused on just trying to learn, and when you are speaking about a tenth to go to Q3, it’s all about small details. So at the moment we are just struggling with the situation we are in, and I hope we can bounce back as soon as possible.”
Pushed on whether trying out different specifications is simply a necessary sacrifice when the team have fallen backwards, Leclerc commented: “I think last year we did that in Zandvoort, where it was really a turning point of the season and we did well.
“We shouldn’t over-panic, but it is true that now this difficult time has been there for longer than last year, so we’ve really got to react now and I hope that from next race onwards we can re-optimise the weekend like we did at the beginning of the season.”
It was a slightly better day for Carlos Sainz, a driver who often performs well in changeable conditions like those seen at Silverstone on Saturday. However, despite a solid start to qualifying, the pace seemed to go away throughout the session and Sainz ultimately ended Q3 in seventh place.
“I thought we were on for a positive result, but then as the track started to dry up we started losing competitiveness,” the Spaniard said afterwards. “Proud and happy about Q1 and Q2, but Q3 showed that we’re still lacking.
