Strategic errors cost Charles Leclerc's race

“It was a very long race. There were a lot of strategic calls to make. For the first one, we were on the wrong side of the call when we stopped. Unfortunately, the team thought we had enough lead to start again in front of Bearman and Hamilton. The problem was that I found myself behind them with the red flags, we lost a lot of positions. Afterwards, we had to survive until the end. At the end of the race, we didn't necessarily have the performance of the century. Honestly, we'll have to look at the setup. It was very, very complicated. There was a lot of degradation. We're going to look, because it wasn't optimal for these conditions. I'm rather mixed. It could have been much worse with the McLarens who had enormous pace this weekend. objective, it's the manufacturers. We can't be satisfied with that. We didn't perform as well as we wanted, but we expected it a little before the weekend. We also knew that the Red Bulls were very strong. He was stronger than us overall this weekend. In the constructors' category, we only lost four points on McLaren. Very happy for Pierre and Esteban, they deserve it.”
