With a blank stare, Charles Leclerc showed up a little less than an hour after his accident at the French Grand Prix.
In question, an error at the Beausset bend and a soaring victory as he led the dance ahead of Max Verstappen, future winner of the 12th round of the season.
Appearing quite upset on the radio, the Monegasque confirmed this resentment: “
Of course I was terribly frustrated on the radio.
I feel like I've been at the highest level of my career since the start of the season, but there's no point in performing at this level if it's to lose so many points
.
After initially mentioning a problem with the accelerator pedal, the Ferrari driver quickly changed gears to plead self-criticism.
“
It's a personal mistake, it's not the first time
, he regretted.
At the end of the year, if we are 30 points short, I know they will come from me.
»
No mechanical problem then?
“
I had funny feelings with the car all weekend,
added the Monegasque.
It was hard to be consistent in the heat and I paid a heavy price for that mistake.
A missed opportunity, in short.
But Leclerc does not (still) admit defeat: "
I will continue to believe in it until the end, we will do the accounts at the end of the season
."
