Sauber rookie Charles Leclerc has put it another great performance for Sauber, and the Monegasque is happy with his performance as he scored his twelfth point of the season for the Swiss outfit.

This is the third time Leclerc has managed a top ten-finish already this season for Sauber, which is a very impressive return for the rookie. Sauber scored five points in all of the twenty races in 2017, so for Leclerc to have twelve already after seven races really speaks of the rookie's talent.

"It was a good race today," he told F1i after Sunday's race.

"I am very happy with the result – it has now been four races that we have been doing a great job, and have been improving consistently.

"Today was probably the hardest race for us.

"Coming from a brake failure in Monaco, coming on probably the hardest track for brakes here, we learned from our errors and we managed it very well.

"I am proud of the team and the work that everyone has done.

"It was exciting to discover this track in Montreal, and I enjoyed driving here very much."
