Charles Leclerc believes that the first half of the 2022 season was his strongest in Formula 1.
Leclerc started the year with 2 wins in the opening 3 races of the season. However, a mix of mechanical problems, controversial strategy calls, and errors made an impact on his results in the following races. Despite the issues, Leclerc is delighted with his performance.
“I really feel like this first part of the season has been my strongest in F1 and I think the way I have worked,” the Monegasque told BBC Sport.
“The way we have worked as a team – in terms of finding the right set-up, in terms of building up to the qualifying lap in Q3 or just preparing the race – has been the best I have ever done in F1.”
Leclerc also thinks that he does not need to change his approach to racing.
“There is no need for me to change that approach.
“Again, try and grow from the mistakes of the first half but try and perform as well as the first half because the performance I’ve given, I’m extremely happy about. And this I want to keep.
“So there won’t be any significant change. We just need to try and work as a team to put a weekend together for the nine remaining races and see where we end up.”
