Summary
Charles Leclerc led for 32 laps at the Spanish GP but finished fourth, missing the podium as hoped — no late safety car came to his rescue. Ferrari pitted him on lap 48 as Russell closed in, and he admits even a different tire strategy likely wouldn’t have changed the outcome. The team’s day was tough: Hamilton retired early with brake issues, and despite strong qualifying positions, they lacked the raw speed to climb higher. Leclerc blames Saturday pace for race-day struggles, especially on tracks where passing is hard. He stresses that while Ferrari excels in race execution, they need to boost performance in qualifying to start races ahead of rivals.
