Leclerc: Ferrari upgrade secured Singapore pole
Charles Leclerc believes his acquisition of pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix is due to the car upgrades on his Ferrari which the team have introduced this weekend.
The Scuderia have started superbly since the summer break, with Leclerc winning at both Spa and Monza. Singapore was predicted to be a step back as the track allegedly doesn’t meet their strengths.
However, Leclerc ended up taking pole ahead of Lewis Hamilton after suffering through some poor laps in practice on Friday.
“We brought some new bits which worked properly. It's not always the case, but it was this weekend,” he said after qualifying on Saturday.
“I had a very tough Friday, I didn't feel comfortable in the car. But, I worked hard and today it paid off.”
After besting Hamilton and team-mate Sebastian Vettel to P1, Leclerc thanked his team for the implementation of the upgrade.
“I'm extremely happy about today,” he beamed.

“It was a good lap, a very good lap, but there were some moments when I thought I lost the car, that I took back And at the end, finishing the lap we are in pole position.
I would like to thank the team, so much, for what they've done. We came here knowing it would be a difficult track for us, but the team has done an amazing job to bring the package we needed, and I'm extremely happy to be on pole for tomorrow.”
The “bits” which Leclerc is referring to is upgrades to his floor and front wing.
