To be competitive in the Baku race, first and foremost, it is crucial for us to secure a good result in qualifying.

Operativ Media reports that Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc said this during a press conference ahead of the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.

According to him, qualifying has been their biggest struggle in terms of performance this year: "Therefore, if we are competitive there, I am hopeful for the race. But before thinking about that, we must prepare well for the weekend. Track temperature will also play a major role. I think we should focus mainly on that."

The driver said he enjoys racing on the Baku track: "But the races have been difficult for me so far. I hope we can fix this over the weekend. It wouldn't be fair to say that the setbacks we experienced in previous races were related to the track. We have struggled with certain aspects over the last few weekends, and it is up to us to do a better job. We will work on this at the Baku Grand Prix."

It should be noted that the Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be held on September 24-26.
