Leclerc downbeat after ‘annoying’ lack of pace in Miami Sprint Qualifying as Hamilton admits ‘there is work to do’

Pushed on where the big losses had been during Friday’s running, Leclerc added: “It’s every corner really, it’s not like we are particularly weak in one type of corner.

“Yes, the slow speed seems to be a bit more of our weakness, but it changes from one weekend to the other, so it is just not great.”

Hamilton echoed his team mate’s sentiments about the pace difficulties, though the seven-time World Champion had some positive words about how Sprint Qualifying had unfolded.

“I thought it was a better session,” said Hamilton. “FP1 was a bit better, the car was a bit nicer to drive in FP1 but yeah, we are just lacking speed. [We’ll] just keep working on it from there.”
