Charles Leclerc expressed his frustration with a technical issue that prevented him from setting a time during the Sprint Qualifying at the Austrian Grand Prix. Despite reaching the final segment, Leclerc was unable to take part in the one-lap shootout due to the problem, which left him without a time. He parked his Ferrari car and was stranded as the clock continued to tick. Although he managed to get the car moving again, it was too late for him to reach the checkered flag and he finished in 10th place. Leclerc admitted that he was unsure of what exactly went wrong and was eager to discuss it with his team. On the other hand, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz was pleased with his performance but acknowledged that the team struggled to extract the maximum speed from the soft tires during the qualifying session. Despite this setback, Sainz remained optimistic about his chances in the Sprint race and hoped to make progress on the grid.
