Leclerc Secures Pole Position in Wet Conditions
Charles Leclerc has secured a crucial pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix after a rain-affected qualifying session. The Ferrari driver capitalised on the tricky conditions to deliver a stunning lap that saw him edge out Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by a mere 0.019s.
Rain Interrupts Qualifiers
The qualifying session was interrupted by heavy rain midway through Q3, causing a delay and creating a lottery-like situation. As the track started to dry in the final minutes, Leclerc seized the opportunity and put together an exceptional lap on his final attempt.
Leclerc Thrived in the Rain
Leclerc has always been known for his exceptional skills in wet conditions. His ability to control the car in slippery situations gave him a significant advantage over his rivals. He demonstrated his masterful car handling throughout the session, showcasing his composure and adaptability.
Leclerc’s Ferrari Impressed
The Ferrari SF90 also played a pivotal role in Leclerc’s success. The car’s aerodynamic package and engine performance proved to be a match for the Red Bull in the wet. Leclerc was able to exploit the car’s strengths to perfection, producing a lap that was both fast and consistent.
Verstappen Disappointed But Determined
Max Verstappen was understandably disappointed to miss out on pole position by such a narrow margin. However, he expressed his determination to fight back in the race. The Dutchman has a strong record at Spa and will be hoping to use his superior race pace to challenge Leclerc for the victory.
