Christian Horner did not agree with the suggestion that Charles Leclerc is becoming a serial 'crasher'. FrenchGP F1
“I don’t know whether anything else contributed to his accident. He’s a very strong driver.
“I mean, these two guys, they are operating and pushing each other so hard. And these cars are right on the edge in these conditions.Obviously we will never know what would have happened had Leclerc not made his mistake, in terms of he or Verstappen having the edge later on, but Horner acknowledged fans could have enjoyed a treat in the form of another thrilling tussle between the drivers who have won 10 of this year’s 12 races.
“It would have been fascinating to see if Charles had pitted, he would have had a two or three-lap advantage of tyres,” said Horner. “It would have been a great battle. “[Our] tyre temperatures were actually looking pretty under control, wear was looking good, we weren’t blistering as much as the Ferrari was and so we were feeling pretty strong, which is why we went on an aggressive one-stop.”
