Leclerc Fumes in Ferrari Radio Outburst After Japanese GP Qualifying

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc expressed intense frustration on team radio following the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying session.

Leclerc qualified fourth but vented over the radio, calling the session "a f**king joke" and claiming he lost speed on straights due to new energy recharge regulations.

The FIA reduced the maximum energy recharge to eight megajoules to reduce super clipping, a rule change Leclerc says negates his advantages in the corners despite his driving style.
