Leclerc: “The track has nothing to do with it, it’s the brakes’ fault, we have the solution, Hamilton has been using it for 3 races”

All the anger of Leclerc Charles Leclerc ended up against the barriers at Antony Noghes during the restart after the Safety Car came out due to Lance Stroll’s accident at the same point. At the entrance to the corner the asphalt deteriorated significantly as the race progressed, but Leclerc did not blame the track for what happened to him. Speaking to Sky, Leclerc was clear in underlining that the problem was the brakes and that for this reason he will follow Lewis Hamilton who has already been running another path for the brakes for three races. “The track didn’t help, but it wasn’t the track’s fault – Leclerc’s words – I’ve always taken the blame and my responsibilities even when I wasn’t entirely responsible, but today the data speaks clearly. I didn’t brake, I put my foot on the pedal and I had a double braking torque response from the front brake and zero at the rear, all due to a temperature problem.” “The positive aspect is that we have the solution at home, Hamilton has already been using it for three races – added Leclerc – and that’s what I’ll do from the next one too.”
