Charles Leclerc says starting from front row is a good feeling, Lewis Hamilton targeting race opportunities

While Hamilton had a great start to the British Grand Prix weekend with Sprint Pole on Friday, the Briton was beaten in the Sprint by Antonelli and was only third in Qualifying while Leclerc's form was on an ascending curve.

"I’m pleased with my qualifying," Leclerc said. "In the past few races I struggled to put it all together, so starting from the front row once again is a good feeling.

"There has been a lot of work behind the scenes to get here, so today is a positive for us. It’s just the beginning but a step in the right direction.

"I’ll give it my all tomorrow to make our team and tifosi proud," the Monegasque concluded.

Hamilton appeared to be accepting the reality that transpired during Qualifying in Silverstone on Saturday but is hopeful Ferrari can concoct a decent strategy for Sunday's Grand Prix.

The seven-time Formula 1 Champion commented: "As for Qualifying, of course I would be happier with a repeat of yesterday, but I expected both Kimi and Charles to improve today.

"Once again it was incredibly close, and having both cars up there gives us more opportunities for tomorrow.

"We’ll look at all the options available to us and do everything we can with the strategy to fight for the best possible result for the team," Hamilton concluded.

Will chasing the best result for Ferrari mean making Leclerc play the wingman role to Hamilton?

Antonelli admitted that Ferrari may deploy the team game to challenge him during the British Grand Prix, but will the Reds favor Leclerc or Hamilton come Sunday?
