Charles Leclerc admitted he "just went for it" during Italian Grand Prix qualifying after struggling with his Ferrari Formula 1 car. It is the eighth pole position of the season for Leclerc, who improved by 0.268s on his second Q3 lap to leapfrog teammate Carlos Sainz Jr for his second pole at Monza - after 2019. "It wasn't an easy qualifying session," explained Leclerc after the session. "I knew that there was quite a bit of potential in the car, but I didn't put everything together, I knew in this last lap, I have to put everything together and I managed to do it. "It was the last lap, so I took much more of a risk. I had to find quite a lot of performance and I just went for it and it worked out. "I'm very happy with the lap, very happy with the performance, it's been a great weekend and the feeling with the car is amazing. "I really hope that we can do just like 2019 [in the race]."
