Leclerc ran wide, off the track, on six occasions in th🌜e opening ﷺ10 laps, struggling with lock ups.

It soon transpired that🐭 Leclerc had a brake-related issue which hurt his pace.

R𒊎eflecting on it, Leclerc said:  “I couldn’t go around Turn 9, 𝓀10 for the first ten laps even though I was having crazy brake balance to the rear,” he said. “I would lock every lap and I was making big changes.

“It’s been a very, very frustrating race because I was waiting for this race for a long time. I wanted to show what we were capable of and at the end we cannot show anything on my side because we were complꩲetely out of place with brake balance and the car in general wasn’t where I wanted it to be.

“We will have to analyse what went wron🀅g in order to stop all these issues from🅰 happening.”

Despite a better second half of the race, where he o♉vertook Russell on track for fourth, the brake issue persisted.

“I was managing the entire time,” he added. “There w𒅌as no moment where in the first 10 laps it got much woওrse every lap. That’s why I did so many mistakes. 

“I was always trying to anticipate the brakes but when꧒ever I was the issue was bigger, locking up again.

“After 10 laps it stabilised so at least I knew there was an issue and I knew what to expect but🥂 it still felt horrible.”
