Great that Leclerc has the skills and guts to drive his Ferrari on the limit. Well-deserved P1.
He went "all-in". Very limited margin for mistake - technical circuit with walls as merciless 'track limits'. There gonna be yellow flags, especially during the later stages of the race when fatigue creeps in.
Leclerc said during the post-qualies interview that it will be hard to keep up with the Red Bulls during the race (in terms of race pace). Hopefully he manages to keep P1 after the start so that we can witness Verstappen breathing in his neck for some time, battling for track position.
We need Leclerc back re-engaging in fighting for the WDC. IMHO he's currently the only driver of the pack capable of successfully challenging Verstappen - but, unfortunately his car cannot keep up with his skills. Imagine for a moment also Leclerc and Alonso driving the RB19 - now that would give some fireworks at the front of the pack.
