The 23-year-old feels that his charge from near the back of the field to finish seventh in the Styrian Grand Prix was one of his best performances in Formula One.
 
"If we look at the first lap, it's been an incredible race for us," Leclerc said. 
 
"We've been incredibly quick, but obviously this first lap basically stopped us from doing something much, much, much better today.
 
"It was a big opportunity. The pace was incredible. It's probably one of my best performances in Formula 1 today, apart from the lap one."
 
Red Bull Racing-Honda are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and are followed by Mercedes and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
