Leclerc has blamed his own driving and a 'miscommunication' with team-mate Sainz for his poor F1 qualifying ahead of the AustralianGP.
skating into the gravel while the threat of rain forced a rushed run plan in Q3, Leclerc added:"It was quite tricky, but to be honest, I feel like we are quite competitive. But I just didn't put everything together also in the first run of Q3.
"So, it's a bit my fault because when you arrive to Q3 you need to put everything together in whatever laps you do.Leclerc did report that Ferrari was in no worse shape than how it turned out in Saudi Arabia, which means keeping pace with Mercedes and Aston Martin in the race should be feasible. He said the troubled qualifying was instead a one-off, after losing 0.2-0.3s that might have put him third or fourth but for driver error, meaning there was no need for Ferrari to"panic"."I wouldn't panic in a way of today. I think two, three tenths. I just needed to drive better.
"The car wasn't that bad. The feeling was actually quite good. Part of the changes we've done this weekend was to make the race pace better."
