Useless statements. Even if he didn't make the mistake he would have qualified like p7 with those tyres.
Also the mistake was the result of having cold tyres. Leclerc quali was completely doomed.
It's Leclerc... if he looked back on the session and thought he had any fault in it, he would be (and is) the first one to speak up about it. That's just how he is. Like you say, he could've qualified P7. Today that could've made a big difference with the pace they had.
And it's not like he's entirely defending the team; he reiterated he left the pits with the tires in the wrong temperature and something had gone wrong there. He's just saying he's not blameless.
