CHARLES LECLERC

The moment I prefer is the moment I put on the helmet, that everyone is leaving the pit lane, that I'm alone with the car and there it feels good. You don't have any feelings anymore; it's just racing and this I enjoy.

If you have one driver who only cares about himself then it's not great.

I will respect Ferrari's decision for whoever is next to me and at the end it's my job to adapt to the person next to me and you can always learn from whoever is your team mate.

Every time a young driver comes into F1, the finger's pointed at him over his age. I don't think that's right.

My mental strength was definitely a weakness back in the karting days, and I've worked hard on that to be as ready as possible for whenever I had the chance in F1.

At the beginning, I didn't want to arrive at a big team like Ferrari and say: 'Ok, I want the car like this' - I just wanted to try and adapt to the car and then see if I wanted to make some changes.

We need to keep working very hard.

Being honest with myself is something I like. I am happy that I don't make excuses when I make a mistake. This is a good way to improve in the fastest way.

I think I am my own biggest critic, yeah.

I've done this in karting, to do one track in one way and then do it the other way.

Obviously being third in the Formula 1 world championship would be crazy.

From the beginning when you go into this sport, you know how dangerous it is. It will never be a safe sport.

I've always been very hard on myself, it's the way that works with me.

To be completely honest, I am obsessed with Formula 1 so in the off-season I would like to have just a few more races to still race in F1.

I would love to drive a MotoGP but I'm not sure Ferrari agrees.

The red car, even before I knew it was called Ferrari, was my obsession.

With less and less races people will want to take more risks.

Every time you go back to winning, or to the good results, you take back the confidence in yourself and you feel a lot better.

I rarely focus on the result only just because I think if I work well the results will come and if we work well as a team the results will come.

Anyone who has the chance to drive for Ferrari will drive for Ferrari.

There will always be some corners which are challenging and more dangerous than others.

My dream as a child was being a world champion.

Since I was a child I've been looking up to Formula One. Dreaming to be a Formula One driver.

In the car it is really good to have a killer instinct where you need to be aggressive.

I just fully focus on myself and the job I do in the car and then I think the results will come.
