CHARLES LECLERC NOW SEEMS MORE OPTIMISTIC

Charles Leclerc seems more optimistic

Charles Leclerc, who will start in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with a 10-position penalty, set the ninth fastest time in Free Practice on Friday.

"I don't think it went too badly honestly, the feeling was pretty good, but it's hard to interpret the performance," Ferrari's Monegasque told Sky Sports. "Everyone did different things, in terms of weight and power. I have different feelings than in Bahrain but, again, it's difficult to read the Free Practice, however the race pace seems better than in the first race. And this is positive."
