The
Scuderia
driver
has
seen
his
title
bid
take
a
significant
hit
in
the
past
few
race
weekends,
sustaining
a
power
unit
failure
in
Baku
and
taking
a
penalty
in
Canada
that
saw
him
start
at
the
back
of
the
grid.
That
has
left
Leclerc
with
a
huge
disadvantage
in
the
championship
chase
–
now
49
points
behind
Red
Bull’s
Max
Verstappen
–
and
his
attempts
to
improve
this
weekend
come
amid
increased
competition.
Mercedes
appear
to
have
bounced
back
after
their
troubles
in
the
earlier
stages
of
the
season,
while
Leclerc’s
team-mate
Carlos
Sainz
also
seems
to
have
found
his
rhythm
–
pushing
Verstappen
all
the
way
in
Montreal
before
securing
a
first
pole
position
for
Sunday’s
race
at
Silverstone.
While
Leclerc
is
delighted
for
Sainz
and
made
it
clear
the
team
come
first,
he
hinted
he
expects
Ferrari
to
make
a
strategic
call
for
the
race
win
if
the
opportunity
materialises.
“If
I’m
happy
to
help
Carlos
to
win
his
first
race
tomorrow?
I
think
of
course,
I
will
be
very
happy
if
Carlos
wins
the
race
tomorrow,
but
I’m
not
going
to
hide
that
I
want
to
win,
too,”
Leclerc
told
a
news
conference.
Didn’t
put
the
lap
in
when
I
needed
to.
Shame
because
the
last
lap
was
good
but
it
happens,
tomorrow
is
the
race
and
performance
is
there
to
come
back
at
the
top.
Big
congrats
to
@Carlossainz55
for
his
first
pole
position,
fully
deserved!!

“But
I
think
what
is
most
important
is
that
we
finished
one-two,
whatever
way
around
it
is,
and
if
we
can
play
strategic
moves
in
between
the
cars,
I’m
pretty
sure
that
we
will.
“So,
let’s
see
how
it
goes
tomorrow.
But
again,
I
feel
confident
with
the
car.
So,
let’s
wait
and
see.”
Dry
running
was
restricted
in
the
build-up
to
Sunday’s
race,
with
qualifying
a
washout,
but
better
weather
is
anticipated
for
the
race,
and
Leclerc
added
he
is
confident
with
the
car’s
set-up.
“Much
happier
this
morning,
compared
to
yesterday.
Yesterday,
it
was
very,
very
difficult
to
put
a
lap
together,”
he
said.
“But
this
morning,
I
felt
quite
confident
with
the
car.
So,
yeah,
I’m
looking
forward
to
the
race
tomorrow.”
