'Doesn't matter when we have such a s**t result.'
Charles Leclerc blamed his “shit” sixth-placed finish at the United States Grand Prix on his one-stop strategy that had the driver fuming at Ferrari.
Repeatedly told by his engineer Xavier Marcos Padros to manage his tyres with messages such as “increase tyre saving” or “look after these tyres”, Leclerc had the last word about tyres as he came into the closing laps down in sixth place.“Tyres are completely f**ked,” said the disappointed Monégasque driver.“Couldn‘t do any better with that strategy. I think I maximised everything with that strategy,” he said.
Leclerc was left to rue being “far off the ideal race strategy” with his team-mate Carlos Sainz beating him to the chequered flag.“And for some reason, there was something wrong in our numbers today, because we were far off the ideal race strategy.” But with Leclerc’s degradation increasing in the second stint, he concedes in hindsight it was a mistake.“The situation is that the strategy at the end of the race was not good. We don’t have one Good choice made. But that’s life. ”
