A big disappointment, hot for everyone: for the team, for the fans and first and foremost for the driver himself. In France Charles Leclerc makes a mistake what can be decisive for the fate of the world championship. The Monegasque, on round seventeen, puts it into the wall, with a scream (expressed in the radio team), which is worth a thousand words.
Leclerc speaks
The bitterness is so much and so is also perceived in Charles' words, who commented on the incident thus:
"Reliability problem? No, it has nothing to do with it. There was a problem when I had already touched the wall and the reverse gear didn't work, so I couldn't get off the wall and go backwards. The car didn't look that badly damaged, other than the front wing. Even though it was a big shock, but I don't know what happened. That's honestly a detail and as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't even want to draw attention to that. I can't make these mistakes. Since the beginning of the year I've been at a very high level, perhaps one of the highest of my career, but if I make these mistakes there's no point in being at a high level."
“I can't do this”
“This is unacceptable. If at the end of the year we lose the championship by 32 points, the ones I lost between Imola and Le Castellet, I will know where this disadvantage comes from. It means it comes from me. Let's see at the end of the year, we'll do the math. But I can't do these things. I was pushing for the stop? Yes certainly, but we all push, I don't want it to become an excuse. Do I scream in the radio team? I wasn't aware I had the radio on. I would have preferred to keep it to myself, but that's life."
