Charles Leclerc has called on Ferrari to do “better” after a messy race at the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Ferrari struggled for pace at the Miami International Autodrome as Leclerc finished seventh, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton finished one place behind in eighth.

It wasn’t a straightforward race for Ferr♉ari as they were engulfed in a team orders saga.

At the time, Hamilton was running on medium tyres and looked qui🌱cker than Leclerc, who was on the hards.

Ferrari wait𝐆ed several laps before deciding to im💖pose team orders on Leclerc.

By the time Leclerc moved over, Hamilton’s tyres wer༒e past their best.

This meant that Leclerc was now being held up by his teammate, costing both drivers more time in their pursuit of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kimi Antonelli.

The saga led to a sassy team radio meಌssage from Hamilton, who asked race engineer Riccardo Adami whether h𓂃e should also let Carlos Sainz through in the closing laps.

Speaking after the race in Miami, where  ൲are in the paddock, Leclerc discussed the team orders fiasco.

“Most of t🎀he time I say something, today I don’t think I’ll s🐎ay anything,” Leclerc said.

“I think the story is going to be big enough already. We need to do better, that’꧂s for sure. Today was not ideal and was far from maximising our potential, but we’ve got to regroup as a team and be better.”

Leclerc felt that team orders should have been discussed more before moving over for Hamilton on Lꩲap 39.

“I think we should have discussed a litt🌺le bit more before doing the swap, because you’re trying to go to the end with ꧒those tyres,” Leclerc explained.

“I’m trying tꦰo do a good j꧋ob with my tyres and then everything is tricky. I did not expect Carlos to be so close. All of this made the situation a bit trickier, but I think there’s plenty for us to look at. As I said, we need to do a step and we need to be robust enough that whenever we find ourselves in those situations, we do better.”

“No bad feelings with Lewis”

Leclerc was keen to make clea﷽r that he had no issue with Hamiltoꦏn and his approach.

Leclerc conceded that he would have done the same as Hamilton in wanting to push - and get past - if he was in that𒐪 position. 

“Not really, because I knew Lewis was on a medium, so if anything, he would struggle a bit more to go to the end than me, so we hꦬad to take care of tyres,” Leclerc added.

“But I understand as well that he wanted to try and do something different, so I appreciate that. I would have done the same thing as if I was him and trying to𝔍 be a bit more aggressive with the medium tyres🦩. There’s no bad feelings with Lewis, not at all.

“I understand that he wants to tr♎y and optimise as much as I want to try and optimise the car po💖tential. The car potential is just this, which is frustrating.”

Lecle🤡rc confirmed he’s not had the chance to speak to Hamilton after the race.
