Sahira’s Grand Prix started with an accident at turn four: in a dense group of cars, Charles Leclair braked too late on the outer radius and collided with Sergio Pérez. The car turned and, in an attempt to circle it, Max Verstappen flew against the wall.
The Dutchman said the culprit was the Ferrari driver.
“I got off to a good start, but Valtteri [Боттас] It started pinching me, which is quite normal, because I had to brake, – explained the Red Bull driver in an interview with Sky Sports. – After that I had to literally survive among the rivals’ cars. I don’t know why everyone was acting so aggressive and reckless. We fought for high positions and three of us were victims of this situation.
I don’t know why Charles tried to attack into corner four, braking so late. Sergio just didn’t see what was happening inside the corner. And the [Леклер] he just locked the wheels and got into it. So Sergio turned, I tried to go around him to keep the car intact. And there was gravel … “
Leclair pleaded guilty: “Max and I were side by side, I was behind. I tried to get ahead of him at the entrance to turn four. I saw Sergio, but I was hoping he would choose a broader trajectory, staying out of Valtteri. But it seems that he has decided to go back in and I was already there. It was too late to stop.
I can’t call it Sergio’s mistake and I have no right to blame him. If anyone is to be blamed, it is primarily myself. And even then, it’s more bad luck than guilt. “
