Charles Leclerc was met by loud booing from the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix crowd after being involved in a collision with Sergio Perez.
The Ferrari driver tangled with Perez in a dramatic start to Sunday’s race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, sending the Red Bull driver airborne and into an early retirement.
But the Mexican made contact with Leclerc, who was caught in the middle of a Red Bull sandwich with seemingly nowhere to go."A lot of booing. Guys I had nowhere to go,” Leclerc said. “I was a bit in between the Red Bulls and unfortunately I touched Checo."On our end, we maximised our race. Of course, I'm disappointed to end the race of Checo like that but I really didn't do it on purpose and had nowhere to go.
"We struggled a bit with the hard after the restart. Lewis was really quick on the medium and they managed to have really good degradation."
