The Monegasque 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:spun out of the lead at t🌸he Circuit Paul Ricard at the Beausset right-hander.

Leclerc was unable to reverse ou🎃t of the barriers and thus was forced to retire prematurely on Lap 18.

He t🦹ook the blame afterwards♔ but many questioned the cause of the accident after his radio message afterwards.

Leclerc said over team radio: “I cannot go on throttle,” not ♎“I ca🤡nnot go off throttle!” which was widely reported on social media.

After Leclerc’s throttle-related issওue during the latter stages of the Austrian Grand Prix, it’s understandable why people were quick to link the two.

“No, first there was no issues with the throttle itself, nothing to do with Austria,” Binotto explained. “What happened is a genuine mistake of Charl🐼es which are things that may happen and I think they do not take off how good he is as a driver and as a fantastic driver. But it was a genuine mistake. 

“What you heard on the radio was about when he was in reverse gear trying to get out from the ba𓃲rriers, there is a strategy without going in all the details, that somehow he was on the throttle, didn't feel sufficient torque from the engine but was nothing wrong. Simply the strategy there.”

“I tried, but there was something with the clutch not working and I couldn’t reverse, which was a shamꦚe because I saw the car a꧑nd the car was actually not too damaged,” Leclerc said.

“But, th🔯is is a detail, honestly. First of all, I need to ജnot put cars in the wall, and then they should work better.”
