charles leclerc he looks tired. A very stressful afternoon for everyone, especially for him and Carlos Sainz at the end of the Italian GP. Charles was fourth and riding close to his partner, who was 3rd. The Spaniards damaged the wheels in his first fight Max Verstappen and because of that he made a mistake, quitting then and doing a second stint that was longer than it should have been. He came only on wheels because of that previous fight, and because of his last fight with ‘Checo’. He defended himself to the maximum, gave everything for the ‘tifosi’ and took the third place on the podium for good. But behind it was Charles. The team did not stop him and attacked Carlos. The hearts of the ‘tifosi’ sank. Its two pilots took a risk. The object is very close. Carlos blocked the tires several times. And even leclerc He got a bit closer to Carlos in turn 4 with a few more turns to go.
They both lingered that turn and continued to fight. Many thought of the disaster, it was foreseeable. both Ferrari crash against each other when they get at least a podium place for one of them, at home, against the tifosi, it will be a very damaging image for the team and hard to forget. However, Charles believes he did what he had to do. He defends his decision to attack and points out to MD that, since everything ended well, what happened was right. In addition, he told this newspaper that he was not the only one who played at the regulation limit, as he considered that Carlos also struggled at the braking limit.
This newspaper reminded him that Ferrari told him on the penultimate lap that he could “run without taking any risks”.. But on the next turn, he again ventured to the first stop, changed the trajectory several times and went wide. He could have put the Ferrari podium at risk, but he took the steel from there.
“Yes, we both took them. Carlos went to the limit of the rules in braking and I went to the limit of the regulation attacking. So we both did it. But in the end it all ended well, so it was good.”he commented.
“But he took risks that could have led to an accident between the two Ferraris at Monza,” replied MD. “I’ll say it again. We finished the same race, so it’s nice…”he added.
“Honestly, I enjoyed it. It’s the funniest race of the season. I’m sure they will not respond the same way on the wall (laughs) and I’m sure there are many ‘tifosi’ who might not have enjoyed it .like Carlos and I did, but this is exactly what the race should be. In the past with Max I had similar fights, and now with ‘Checo’ we were also at the limit, and with Carlos he was also at the limit and it was really fun and in the end we maximized the team points with the best result we can aspire to as a team. So it was very good,” he said about this in front of the international press.
THEY ARE TAKEN OFF CURVE 4
“I don’t think we touched. Oh yeah! When we went straight. Well, it was on the limit. Carlos was on the limit and I was on the limit. It’s normal. I think that means that we both wanted to be on the podium against the ‘tifosi’, so we gave everything, but at the same time we knew how important it was for the ‘tifosi’ to have a red car on the podium. We had it in mind, but also enjoyed it.”
DEFENDING THE ‘CZECH’
“Honestly, it was very difficult to hold position because they were incredibly competitive going into the last corner.
