Charles Leclerc is the only man on whose shoulders the hopes and dreams of the Tifosi are resting right now. The 25-year-old Monacan racing ace has given the Scuderia a fighting chance every time the team has been on the grid. During today’s Qualifying session at the Jeddah Corniche street circuit, the Monegasque showed all of us once again why a storied team like Ferrari chose to build their title ambitions around him.

With a car that is definitely lacking pace as compared to Red Bull, Leclerc drove the wheels off of the SF-23 this evening. Giving it everything on his last Q3 lap, Leclerc eked out the last bit of lap time his car had to offer to finish a solid P2 in Jeddah. What’s more? He was only 0.155 seconds off pole man Sergio Perez. This blistering qualifying performance had fans hailing him as one of the best drivers on the grid today.

Leclerc will start the race tomorrow from P12, as things stand, owing to a 10-place grid drop for changing his CE unit. Be that as it may, nothing can take away this sublime qualifying effort the Monegasque put for all the boys and girls back at Maranello, and the Tifosi.
