Disastrous weekend for Ferrari, concluded with a double retreat. “The car was a little nervous and I skidded,” said Hamilton after his accident
Ferrari concluded the weekend in Holland with a double retreat: Lewis Hamilton crashed after a cornering mistake, while Charles Leclerc was hit by Kimi Antonelli. “I don’t know what happened, I had a faded at the rear and I was unable to recover,” explained the seven times world champion. “The car was a little nervous. Despite this I think there were some steps forward, I had a good pace. It is not nice not to conclude a race and go out in this way, but today it went like this”.
Leclerc in search of redemption
–
Leclerc gave everything in Holland, also completing a overtaking against George Russell similar to that of Valentino Rossi on Casey Stoner in Laguna Seca. “I had to be aggressive, we are playing the position with Mercedes in the manufacturers,” said the Monegasque on Sky Sport microphones. In a week we return to the track in Monza for the Italian Grand Prix: “I can’t wait, the energy is always very positive and you need after a weekend like this. It will be very nice to find all the fans, now I have to forget this race”. In Canal+ Leclerc added that “this weekend was hell, from FP1 to the race”.
The words of Vasseur
–
Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal of Ferrari, analyzed the performance of his drivers after the race: “We had a bad Friday, then an excellent recovery for qualifying with a good race step, which could have brought Leclerc to the podium. Overall it went very badly. Lewis had the accident just after Charles’ pit stop and we lost some positions. Maybe he went a little too wide in curve 3, but overall he did a great job.
