Charles Leclerc: I paid the price for the starting position
The best result for Ferrari in the sprint of the Canadian Grand Prix was Charles Leclerc's fifth place. After the finish, the Monegasque lamented that he couldn't overtake Oscar Piastri due to a lack of speed on the straights.
Charles Leclerc: "Yesterday we had certain problems with the brakes, but today everything changed for the better. Perhaps it took me longer this weekend to feel comfortable behind the wheel, but on this track, brakes are everything, so yesterday was very tough for me.
I hope to fight for a position in the top three or somewhere nearby in qualifying. Today I paid the price for my starting position, although the pace wasn't that bad, but I started sixth and got stuck behind Oscar.
He was very fast on the straights, and I was gaining time in the corners. But this trend has been present since the beginning of the year, so we'll see."
Lewis Hamilton overtook Oscar Piastri at the start, but closer to the finish, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the Australian McLaren driver and let not only him but also his teammate pass in the final chicane. After the finish, the seven-time world champion was brief.
"Oscar got alongside me in the last corner and overtook. Then I lost position to Charles. Well, just bad luck," commented Lewis Hamilton.
