F1 | Ferrari, what a blow for Leclerc: "Unfortunately it can happen, we have to look at the positive side"

from Barcelona, ​​Spain

What a blow for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari. At Montmelò the Monegasque was literally dominating the Spanish Grand Prix, but a problem with the power unit of his F1-75, thought to be the turbo, put an end to the race of the man who is now no longer the world championship leader. A significant defeat also given Verstappen's victory and the Red Bull double, with both championships now with new owners in their respective rankings.

“So far this season the team has done an incredible job in terms of reliability – said a disheartened Leclerc. Obviously today's retirement hurts, because this weekend we were in front from the start and worked really well. However, I know that these things can happen from time to time and in times like this the important thing is to look at the positive aspects. Our pace was strong both in qualifying and in the race and I felt very comfortable in the cockpit. We have made progress on the tire management front, which has at times been a weakness for us this season, and therefore, while it is a shame and a disappointment to have missed this opportunity to score important points, it is also true that the season is very long and we are aware that we have a lot of potential. The next race is at my home, in Monaco: I can't wait to be there and I hope I can get some satisfaction."
