Charles Leclerc: The car was simply uncontrollable.

Charles Leclerc: The car was simply uncontrollable.

      Charles Leclerc started from pole in Hungary and was fighting for the win, but in the second half of the race, he began to lose speed and, in a tense battle with George Russell, he couldn't hold onto even third place.

      During the race, Leclerc heavily criticized the team over the radio, but it later turned out that the loss of speed was caused by a chassis problem. After the finish, Charles commented on the race more calmly.

      His teammate Lewis Hamilton fought with opponents throughout the race but finished twelfth and did not score points.

      Charles Leclerc (4th): "Maybe Iwas too hasty with my conclusions, and when I got out of the cockpit after the finish, I was told more details about what actually happened to the car. I thought it was something else, which we had discussed earlier, but unfortunately, the problem was with the chassis. We will figure everything out so that it doesn’t happen again.

      Of course, it doesn’t make me feel better, because when you're fighting for victory and then face such problems... Everything needs to be checked carefully so that this doesn’t happen in the future. The car was simply uncontrollable.

      This is an isolated case, which we will deal with. I don't think such a problem will recur in the future.

      The problem arose around the fortieth lap and got worse and worse. It’s very upsetting, because initially we kept everything under control, and the pace was enough to win, but in the end, I finished nowhere. I don’t even have a podium."

      Lewis Hamilton (12th): "I have the same mood as yesterday. I’m just waiting for tomorrow. It’s good that the summer break is starting. I’m looking forward to disconnecting from work a little.

      The incident with Max? I saw him at the last moment. He approached my rear wheel very closely, and I tried to avoid a collision."
