168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc does not blame teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton for the first-lap tangle between the Ferrari drivers at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

A nightmare Sunday for the famous Italian team concluded with both drive🐭rs being disqu🌸alified for separate offences.

Ther🐼e had already been drama right at the start in Shanghai as Leclerc and Hamilton came together while battling for early positions as the field winded itওs way through the first few corners.

Leclerc’s front-left made contact with Ha🍎milton’s right rear as the Ferrari duo reached the apex at Turn 2.

While a full collision was narrowly averted, the contact caused damage to Leclerc’s fro🍸nt wing, destroying the left endplate. Ham♒ilton escaped the tangle unscathed.

L♓eclerc was still able to finish fifth and ahead of Hamilton after Ferrari swapped their drivers around with the seven-time world champion str෴uggling for pace.

“Honestly it♛ was not Lewis’ fault, at all,” Leclerc said.

“From my side, I was on the inside and try💜ing to position the car fo🔴r Turn 3.

“Lewis didn’t know I was there. I didn’t expect Lewis to come back and take the﷽ apex, at the time he was on the outsid🦩e.

“It’s a ဣracing incident. It’s not the fir꧒st or last time it will happen.

“It’s a shame it happened between the two red cars but there was no ba🎀d intenti꧃on from either of us. It was unfortunate.

“Obviously that cost me quit🧔e a bit for the🍨 rest of the race.”

Ferrari decided against putting a new front wing on Leclerc’s car when𝓀 he pitted. That meant he did not lose vital extra seconds in the pits.

“Of course, we are speaking about a big, big loss on my car,” Leclerc explained. “There was, for sure, t💮he potential to do a lot better.

“We d𝔉idn’t want to take the eight seconds at a pit stop to change the front wing, because then I’d have to overtake cars.

“We were 🥀very weak at Turn 12 so that made us vulnerable with the cars behind. It waဣs hard to overtake because, in the lead up to Turn 14, we were far off.

“I didn’t want to take that risk. I wanted to keep tra🐓ck position and maintain the result.

“I think we did we🌳ll. It’s a shame about the damage.”

Leclerc explains Mercedes ‘dragster’ comment

🌠Leclerc briefly looked to challenge foꦐr a podium position as he closed in on George Russell, but he was unable to launch an attack on the Mercedes driver.

The Monegasque was heard telling his team over the radio that the Mercedes was a “d💝ragster”.

“What I meant by ‘dragster’ is that they had goodไ traction at Turn 12,” Leꦡclerc said when asked about his comment.

“I think we we꧅re stronger for most of the lap. But at 11 and 12, they were so fast. I don’t know how much, probably five tenths over three corners.🍌 That’s enough for them to go away.

"It was 🐷very difficu𝔉lt for me to make an overtake into Turn 14.”

After fai𝔉ling to pass Russell, Leclerc was overtaken by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen as he lost P4 in the closing stages. 

He missed out on points altogether when he was later disqualified when his car wಞas underweight.
