Miami GP: Ferraris Charles Leclerc at the prime print: “I felt like a passenger”

Miami Gardens, Florida-Charles Leclerc said he felt “a bit like a passenger” when he plunged his Ferrari SF-25 on the way to the grid on Saturday before the sprint race in Miami.

The Formula -1 drivers left the Pitlane and made themselves under heavy rain through Miami's international autodrome. Leclerc lost control of the car in the left Kink Turn 10 section, sent him heavily into the wall and ended his race before it even started.

“It's frustrating, but at the end of the day I can only be responsible for it,” the 27-year-old Monegasque told Sky Sports. “Go out [intermediate tires] Under these conditions, it was probably not the best choice, but on the other hand, these things shouldn't happen.

“I felt a bit like a passenger because it is in a straight line and it is not as if they were pushing a straight line, so I only drove until I lost control of the car because of the aquaplaning and I had no way out of it …”

“The way it is is very disappointed. Now I have to continue because it is qualified in a few hours. I hope I will be able to participate, and if I do it, I hope that we can recover from a difficult start of the day.”

Shortly after Leclerc appeared on the film material in the Wall, a radio message from Ferrari -Tammate Lewis Hamilton was broadcast on the show: “I don't know how to publish us here on the Inters.”

Nevertheless, Hamilton would go a way to save Saturday from Ferrari as soon as the sprint started. From the seventh on the grid, the 40-year-old Briton had risen to sixth place thanks to Leclerc's exit before walking early on a drying route when he rose to third place when he took the checkered flag.

And yet his surprising Saturday success almost didn't happen. Hamilton spoke at the press conference after the impression and told the media members that he almost followed Leclerc into the wall at his sighting round.

“When we all went out for them [sighting] Lap, I don't know what it was like, but of course Charles had this moment, “said Hamilton.” I had the same moment because I was right behind him and somehow [the car] I was listening to the wall at the last moment. So that was almost both. As I said, to get these points, I'm really grateful. “

On the sprint podium of the seven-time world champion, he moved sixth in the driver's championship within a time of Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Hamilton's Erbe in Mercedes. Leclerc is in fifth place in the overall ranking, ten points from his teammate.
