Charles Leclerc shared his thoughts after Italian GP at Monza

"On low fuel and high fuel it's been quite tricky but fast. I'd rather be in this position than having a consistent car that's slow but we need to work a little bit on consistency. I think on the short runs we managed to extract more or less what there was in the car, however, for tomorrow we need to get that consistency and we are working on that."

"That's a difficult question," he added when asked if achieving pole on Saturday was realistic. For now, I think it's on the cards, but I don't know how much Red Bull and McLaren have pushed just yet. I think they have more than what we have in the pocket. We still need to improve the car, but if we do, then I think there's a possibility," Leclerc said.

Charles Leclerc's teammate, Lewis Hamilton, topped FP1 with a 1:20.117 time on the clock, while the Monegasque finished in P2. Leclerc finished FP2 in the same place (P2) with 1:19.961, and was nearly a tenth slower than Lando Norris.
