On the Belgian weekend of FerrariAs if the disastrous results obtained on the track by the Maranello team were not enough, a controversy has also broken out – actually quite sterile – in the Charles Leclerc’s radio team during the first pit stop. The 22-year-old was called up by the team in the pit lane when the Safety Car entered the track following the Giovinazzi-Russell accident. During the break, however, due to some problems, the Ferrari number 16 lost a lot of time, falling back even further than it was before the break and canceling the overtaking made on the track by the Monegasque.
Leclerc: “I’m frustrated, we have to react”
Here the alleged crime would have occurred with Leclerc who, visibly upset by the difficult situation, swore on the radio. The team was immediately asked to turn it off. In various media and social networks, numerous reconstructions and interpretations of Leclerc’s words have been read, who has been accused by many of having harshly insulted the team and mechanics. In fact, although it is not easy to identify the exact words that the Ferrari driver pronounces, the Monegasque seems to say, in French, “come on, damn your race“, that could “come on, what a fucking race“.
And sorry to the radio team, maybe I should have turned off the radio after the pit stop 😅
It wasn’t on purpose 😬😘– Charles Leclerc (@Charles_Leclerc) August 30, 2020
Leclerc also wanted to publicly apologize for what happened, with a post posted on Twitter: “Sorry for the radio team – wrote the Ferrari driver – maybe I should have turned off the radio after the pit stop. I didn’t do it on purpose “, complete with an embarrassed emoticon. A few years ago his current teammate, Sebastian Vettel, had responded harshly to criticism made by some journalists of the pilots regarding certain particularly ‘hot’ radio equipment. Given the complex career, inevitably lived intensely by Leclerc himself, such an outburst seems genuinely understandable, also linked to the frenzy of the moment.
