Charles Leclerc had a terrible qualification. The Ferrari was unable to burn ahead in the cold conditions in Turkey. For the first time in a long time he couldn't beat his teammate Sebastian Vettel either.

Painful afternoon

With pain and effort, Leclerc came through Q1, where he was in the danger zone for a long time. "It was difficult. It was difficult for everyone. In the morning it was raining and we were at the same pace as the Red Bull Racing and this afternoon we were six seconds slower," said Leclerc at Sky Sports F1.

"It was a terrible afternoon," adds the Ferrari driver. The Monegasque will start tomorrow's race from thirteenth place after Carlos Sainz has been punished with a three place grid penalty.
