Charles Leclerc admits he was powerless against the faster Red Bulls of Perez and Verstappen in today's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. F1 AzerbaijanGP
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc says Red Bull is in “another league” after the polesitter was relegated to third by Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen in Formula 1’s 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.Friday and Saturday qualifying topper Leclerc had launched cleanly to comfortably hold off front-row rival Verstappen into Turn 1 at the race start.
A compliant Leclerc was then deposed to his eventual third place at the start of lap six, as victor Perez did similar to his team-mate by activating DRS to overtake on the inside run to Turn 1. Leclerc said: “[Red Bull] are in another league once it comes to [the] race. Over 51 laps, it was just not possible. They have so much more pace than we do in race pace.
Asked if he felt the gap to Red Bull was narrowing at all, he said: “Honestly, the feeling is a little bit better. But when I see the gap, and I'm pretty sure that when you have this type of gap, you're probably not pushing 100%.
