Leclerc: "I've been very lucky to go again"
Charles Leclerc may have out qualified his teammate for the Hungarian Grand Prix but the Ferrari driver admitted he was lucky to continue after he crashed during Q1.
Leclerc lost control of his car going into the final corner and crashed his Ferrari into the barriers damaging his rear wing. Having already set a fast enough time to make Q2 his team set about repairing the damage and he was able to make it out for the second qualifying session.
The Monegasque went on to qualify fourth, ahead of his teammate Sebastian Vettel but he admitted it was another unnecessary mistake from him and thanked his team for getting him ready to go again.
"I've been very lucky to go again and I have to thank the team for what they did," Leclerc said.
"It was a completely unnecessary mistake at that moment in qualy, and that's two mistakes in two Grand Prix races.
"I need to learn from these mistakes, and I need to work on that, but on the other hand Q3 was very positive. I was very happy with my lap overall."
