Knowing he needed to deliver on his final run of Q3 after wrecking his first flying lap with a lock-up, Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari throug✅h 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 left to resume the sess𒀰ion.

“What’s unacc💙eptable is doing twice the same mistake in the same co🌃rner and I am really disappointed in myself,” Leclerc told Sky. 

“You can ꦦalways find excuses in those situations. The wind was really strong, it was r☂eally tricky. 

“The set-up of the car was real🥀ly 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 would be able to extract the maximum out of the car i🐈n Q3, which is normally one of my strong points. 

“I know th🅠at I’m also taking more risks othe⛦rs probably in Q3 and that is why most of the time I’m doing good Q3’s, but this is too much. 

“Very disappointeꦰd in myself. I🐈 did the same mistake yesterday and this shouldn’t happen.”

Asked ♓if he is putting too much prꦛessure on himself to maximise the performance of his Ferrari, Leclerc said: “I don’t think so. 

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

Despite the incident, Leclerc is set to line-up seventh on 🐈the grid for Sunday’s race in Mia꧒mi. 

“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,” Lec🍸lerc said of Ferrari’s chances.
