Charles Leclerc lashed out at Ferrari in an angry radio outburst following the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Leclerc had run as high as second in the opening exchanges but slipped to fourth and one place behind Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz, who completed the podium.The Monegasque came out ahead of Sainz after his second and final pit stop and was informed that his outgoing teammate would not overtake him.
Race engineer Bryan Bozzi told Leclerc: “Carlos has been told to not overtake but it is really close, you might be just in front. He has been told to not put you under pressure. So just take care of your tyres.”Sainz, who will join Williams next season having been replaced by Lewis Hamilton, finished three seconds ahead of Leclerc.
Leclerc could not hide his anger over team radio on the cool down lap back to the pits following the race."Yeah, I did my job, but being nice fucks me over all the fucking time, all the fucking time. It's not even being nice, it's just being respectful.”Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for Crash.net around the world. Often reporting on the action from the ground, Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport.
