Leclerc eager to ‘finish the job’ in Baku after past pole disappointments

In
Baku
on
Sunday
(June
12),
the
Ferrari
driver
will
start
from
the
front
of
the
grid
for
the
fourth
successive
grand
prix.

Leclerc
has
failed
to
turn
each
of
his
previous
three
pole
positions
into
a
victory,
something
that
has
become
a
familiar
story
for
the
Monegasque.

From
his
14
pole
positions
in
Formula
One,
he
has
managed
just
four
victories
(29
per
cent)

only
Jarno
Trulli
(25
per
cent

one
win
from
four
poles)
has
a
worse
ratio
among
drivers
to
have
topped
the
podium
at
least
once.

Leclerc
is
keen
to
avoid
another
disappointment
and
believes
upgrades
made
by
Ferrari
can
help
him
get
over
the
line
this
time.

“I
just
want
to
finish
the
job.
The
past
two
weekends
I’ve
already
said
that
on
the
Saturday
and
it
didn’t
happen
on
the
Sunday,”
said
Leclerc.

“So,
we
need
to
make
it…
I
mean,
we
don’t
need
to
make
it
work
but
it
will
be
very
nice
if
we
make
it
work.
Let’s
see
how
it
goes
in
the
first
few
laps,
and
then
I
will
try
to
keep
the
lead.

“I
think
since
we
have
the
new
package,
we’ve
tried
different
things.
And
from
my
feeling
it
feels
better
in
the
race.
But
we
still
need
to
confirm
it.
But
the
feeling
is
there
and
it’s
good,
so
I’m
optimistic.”

Verstappen
qualified
third
for
the
second
successive
Azerbaijan
Grand
Prix.
Last
year
he
crashed
out
from
the
lead
with
three
laps
remaining,
handing
Sergio
Perez
the
win.

The
reigning
champion
does
not
expect
to
make
his
move
early
but
still
believes
he
will
be
in
with
a
good
shot
of
a
fourth
victory
in
five
races.

“I
think
last
year
I
started
third
here,
so
a
lot
of
things
happen.
If
you
have
good
pace,
I
do
think
you
can
do
something
out
there
in
the
race,”
said
Verstappen.

“We’ll
just
look
through
the
data
to
optimise
everything
and
make
sure
that
the
car
is
good
on
the
tyres.

“The
run
to
Turn
1
is
super
short,
so
there’s
not
a
lot
you
can
do
there,
but
it’s
a
long
race.
Baku
has
shown
that
a
lot
of
things
happen.
We
just
need
to
stay
calm
and
focus
on
having
a
good
race
car.”
