Leclerc had started the day six points behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who finished third and stretched his advantage to nine points after seven races. The Monegasque's race unravelled in the pits when the team initially switched him from wet weather tyres to intermediates, two laps after Red Bull's eventual winner Sergio Perez, in a delayed and interrupted race.When he pitted a second time, he was caught behind team mate Carlos Sainz who finished second after going straight from wets to slicks."When you start with your two cars on the front row and you don’t win, it means something went wrong from our side.
"I am sorry for Charles, because it’s his home race, so it was particularly important for him, as indeed it was for all of us. "There were other elements that affected today’s result, such as the traffic that both our drivers encountered when they rejoined the track after their pit stops, a factor that probably cost Carlos the win."Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Toby DavisSubscribe to our sustainability newsletter to make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments.
