What the teams said – Sprint Qualifying in China

Ferrari looked quick in practice, much more in the fight at the front than they were in Melbourne. Leclerc seemed to have the edge on his team mate again, until SQ3.

Leclerc had to settle for fourth, with plenty to muse over given his team mate seems to have found his feet at last.
