JAKARTA - Ferrari racer from Monaco, Charles Leclerc is frustrated by losing pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix, having to settle for third place in the qualifying session at Circuit de Monaco, Saturday night WIB, for failing to overcome the speed of McLaren's Lando Norris racer.
"There's always something that can be done. But, in the end, this is the best we can do. I think the lap is very good," Leclerc was quoted as saying by Motorsport on Sunday.
Leclerc actually started the free practice session quite promisingly, but the time record for the qualifying session can be pursued by Norris and Piastri.
Norris recorded a time of 1 minute 09.954 seconds or ahead of Leclerc who recorded 1 minute 10.063 seconds.
The original Monaco racer must dash hopes of achieving the pole position for the first season.

Especially with Ferrari's unconsistent condition so far, this failure has frustrated Leclerc because his car has never won a grand prix.
"What is clear is that I am very frustrated. We know that we don't have enough cars to win this year. But this weekend, the car feels comfortable. With a start from second place here it will be difficult to win first place," Leclerc said.
However, Leclerc remains optimistic that he can maneuver to take the lead from Lando Norris in the main race.
"I'm proud of the results we got today, because on paper this will be a very difficult weekend for us. In the end, it wasn't too bad," Leclerc said.
