Leclerc’s post, which crashed its Ferrari on its own before the sprint leaves

-

In the rain, Charles Leclerc hit the wall when he joined the grid of the Miami GP Sprint race. The Ferrari driver was forced to give up on the start.

It’s always very annoying. Charles Leclerc cracked his Ferrari during his grid tour before the Sprint race of the Miami Grand Prix, Saturday May 3. Trapped by the completely soaked track, and weighed down by the choice of the stable to put on intermediate tires rather than the rain gums, the Monegasque pilot went to aquaplanning before hitting a wall.

The accident has seriously damaged the rear of the car. Charles Leclerc, unharmed, was to go on the third line, in sixth place.

Disgruntled Hamilton

Frédéric Vasseur, boss of Ferrari, gave explanations at the microphone of Canal+: “We came out (stands, editor’s note) just when he started to rain. We were already in La Pit Lane, we could not change (type of tires). We can say to ourselves that we should have let the others go before. But if we all do that, it is not a shame for Charles. Lewis “.

On the radio, when he took the track in the other Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction concerning the choice of tires: “I cannot believe, the guys, that you put the intermediaries”.
