Charles Leclerc: I was unlucky with the safety car.

      Charles Leclerc finished third in Japan and brought Ferrari its third podium of the season. In the final laps, the Monegasque overtook his teammate Lewis Hamilton in a fierce battle and held George Russell behind him. Hamilton finished sixth, marking his worst result of the season.

      Charles Leclerc (3rd): "It was obviously a tense race. I was a bit unlucky with the safety car deployment – from that moment on, I knew I was at a disadvantage compared to Kimi and Lewis. But I kept attacking while trying to preserve the tires until the finish.

      In the end, it turned out that I wasn't in such a bad position thanks to the tires remaining in pretty good condition.

      The race was quite interesting, just a bit short on time to catch Oscar. In any case, it was a great race."
