Leclerc was ironic with Sainz and Carlos clarified everything: “If they put microphones on footballers…”

charles leclerc He launched an ironic comment at his teammate Carlos Sainz at the end of Q1 of F1 2023 British GP qualifying.

The Monegasque driver started ahead of the Spaniard from the pit lane in a very dangerous situation: the times set by all the drivers on the grid in the previous minutes were no longer valid. After the red flag, the track is completely dry and the times will crush everyone. They are all in danger of being eliminated if they don’t put in a good lap. Therefore, with only 3 minutes to go before the end of Q1, 20 drivers took to the track to find a gap. They had to do a preparation lap before time ran out and push everyone, playing cards, without fail.

In this context, Charles Leclerc is very slow in his march. So Carlos and Charles were overtaken by many cars for fear of running out of time to turn. And there, Carlos is in danger of being eliminated from Q1. He passed Charles and tried to pass an Alpine going into the final corner. This left Charles in a worse position to make his turn, but the man from Madrid had to save himself. It is a matter of safety.

Finally, both went to Q2 and everything was scary for the red ones, but Charles, with nerves still on top, launched an ironic radio against his partner: “It’s great, Carlos. The -overtake on the last lap is a very nice curve. “.

“The checkered flag has arrived and if I don’t shoot I’m out”, he added Spanish before narrowing the radio to ‘Il Principino’. “I think we all spoke on the radio, not just him. I don’t think what is said on the radio should be taken into account because we are all under pressure and everyone is on the limit and praising the radio… there are times when I strongly believe it should not be published.because if not We should also put a microphone on the football players to see what they say during the matches and you can see how much we control our pilots.”finished
