The Ferrari man is pretty confident about his team’s performance and is looking forward to the main race. Leclerc reported, “Yes I think we do. I think it’s very strange because we are actually quicker with the use of tires and the new tires and we need to understand that as a team just to be a bit better prepared for the next race with these new tires and put them in the right window.
“But overall I think for the race tomorrow, I’m quite confident. I think we were quick this morning during the race simulations. So, pretty confident for tomorrow,” Leclerc further continued.
Can Charles Leclerc keep his winning run in Jeddah?
The Ferrari drivers are the favorites this season and Charles Leclerc has been the most outstanding driver so far. The Monégasque dominated the reigning champion last week.

Leclerc has had a phenomenal week in Saudi Arabia so far. He dominated the practice sessions and was also impressive throughout the qualifying. Even fans expected him to lead the race on Sunday, but the Red Bull driver Sergio Perez surprisingly took that lead from him with the fastest lap around 1:28.200.
