The Baku GP with Max Verstappen taking the win ahead of Sergio Perez completing the double Red Bull. Third George Russell. On the other hand, the two Ferrari drivers retired (it hadn't happened since the 2009 Australian GP), Leclerc due to a problembut to the power unit and Sainz due to a hydraulic problem.
Leclerc's world dream is moving away
After this Grand Prix and the second reliability problem in 3 races, the Monegasque sees the dream of the first crown starting to become less clear. Obviously disappointed, he can't even find positive notes from the completed laps: "Reliability problem? Well, looking at the last three races, it seems so to me. I don't want to say too much why I can't find the right words. Obviously it hurts. There are three races where we are competitive but we don't have the final result. But I'll do a reset tomorrow and that's it. The motivation will be there, but we can't ignore these lost points either."
"How many points lost"
Now it is clearly not easy for Leclerc at all. The Monegasque has lost other very important points in terms of world championship and the fact that the problem is related to the engine (ie Power Unit 2) certainly doesn't reassure him. "Important missed points? Certain. That's another 25 points and 25 points is a lot. It sure hurts. Positive things? Now no, I can't find any".
