Charles Leclerc admits the SF-24 was on the absolute ‘limit’ after securing P2 in the Miami GP quali session

While talking about his experience in the SF-24, Leclerc told the following to the media. 

It felt so much on the limit, it was very close until Q3. When we started to push for the last one or two-tenths, we started to lose it. However, the race is long and I hope tomorrow we can put Max under a bit more pressure. Charles Leclerc told: Racingnews365

Tomorrow’s race will be exciting as the Monegasque driver will try his best to get the better of the reigning world champion, Max Verstappen. Today was definitely a memorable day for Leclerc and the Red squad. The 26-year-old has his teammate, Carlos Sainz staring behind him in the Miami GP.

Charles Leclerc believes that ‘DRS’ is vital for overtaking Max Verstappen

Today, during the qualifying session, Charles Leclerc just missed out on pole by the finest of margins. He was on it from the get-go but looking ahead, he feels that DRS will play a crucial role in determining whether he would be able to overtake Verstappen during the Miami race.

While talking about the same in detail, he had the following to add.

Yeah this and keeping the DRS, if we don't get past by turn one. DRS is super powerful here and if we lose it after the first lap then it's always difficult to come back within DRS, we must not lose it. But first of all, there will be the start, this morning we had a good one and tomorrow I will try to have an even better one. Charles Leclerc via: Racingnews365

After having a good day with astonishing results, the Monegasque driver is optimistically looking forward to tomorrow’s 57-lap race. The event is vital for Leclerc, as despite being ahead in points in comparison to Sainz, the latter has been the one who has put on board a victory for Ferrari this year. Keeping this in view, Leclerc’s faithful will have their eyes glued on their TV screens for pretty much the whole duration of the race.
