Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has acknowledged his responsibility after an error that caused him to lose a spot on the podium during the Miami Grand Prix. At a crucial moment in the race, the Monegasque spun while attempting to overtake Oscar Piastri from McLaren, causing significant damage to his vehicle.
Leclerc managed to avoid a serious accident, but he hit the wall, causing him to drop in the rankings and lose third place. This opened the door for George Russell and Max Verstappen to pass and improve their positions.
After the race, the driver commented that “the damage was significant” and acknowledged that there was a potential puncture, as well as suspension damage, which made it difficult for him to control the car. “I’m very disappointed in myself. It’s all my fault and it’s a mistake,” he stated with frustration.
Leclerc explained that, although the end of the race was filled with nerves and pressure, he had remained calm for most of the time. However, he admitted that he got carried away by the moment at turn 3, where he had usually performed well in previous races.
Currently, Leclerc is under investigation for potential infractions, including leaving the circuit on several occasions and causing a collision with Russell.
