“We had problems with the front tires after the first 5 or 6 laps.and that was very important because Max caught up with me and then took advantage of me, ”the still -leader of the Formula One World Championship said at a press conference.
For this reason, he indicated, they should study what happened in Miami, where it is known that tires play an important role because of the high temperatures now experienced on the South Florida circuit, to try to “improve how we manage tires”.
He indicated that after the safety car came out and there were a dozen laps before the end of the race, he tried to overtake Verstappen, but his rival Red Bull had the advantage, both on the long straight road and in the slower area of the circuit. .
When asked if he would prefer to be ahead and feel the pressure of having the current world champion, Leclerc said that “it’s better to always be in front, but it’s true that the gap is slowly closing” and that “Red Bull has shown it has an advantage in recent races“.
He is the world leader with 104 points, 19 ahead of the Dutchman from Red Bull, who have won the last two races, in Italy and Miami.
