After crashing out, the Formula 1 star was heard breathing heavily over team radio, before he let out an almighty scream of frustration.
Verstappen took the lead and cruised to victory, while Lewis Hamilton and George Russell drove superbly to secure Mercedes’ first double podium of the season.
Leclerc initially said his throttle pedal failed, but he later took responsibility for the crash and said it was a “mistake.” “I think I am performing at my highest level in my career, but if I keep doing those mistakes then it’s pointless to perform at a very high level. I’m losing too many points,” he said.Getty Images
“If we lose the championship by 32 points at the end of the season I will know where they are coming from,” he added, referring also to his crash at Imola. Asked about his guttural roar of frustration, Leclerc said: “I would have preferred to keep my frustrations to myself. I didn’t know the radio was on.”
It was a race to forget for Ferrari, who made the baffling call to pit Carlos Sainz a second time late in the race, virtually robbing him of a podium finish.Share this article:
