Ferrari, Charles Leclerc takes the blame.

A bittersweet weekend, at the end of which comes a clear admission of guilt.

Charles Leclerc drove his Ferrari to a fifth-place finish in the Singapore Grand Prix, a result that was the result of a good race and a spot-on strategy. Yet the mood in the Cavallino is not è that of the best days, due to the awareness of the value of an SF-24 that could have done significantly better in case of an apt qualification. Precisely for this reason the Monegasque himself takes responsibility at the end of the day.

"I want to go back first to yesterday’s Q3, to make it clear that the result è was bad because of me,” Leclerc told the microphones of 'Sky Sport'. Perhaps my words had not been clear, and I want to avoid the risk that I pass a wrong message. Today I paid for the bad position I got on the grid after qualifying, but we needed to recover and I think the work done in Ferrari was very good".

Arriving at the finish line in George Russell’s exhaust, Leclerc lost fourth place perhaps also because of the difficulties at the beginning of the race. " They were frustrating laps, becauseé I lost a lot of time behind Hulkenberg and Alonso – stressed the Ferrari driver – After the car è went really well, too bad it was not enough to take fourth place".

From Leclerc è also came the opinion on the strategy agreed with Ferrari, and which saw him change tires among the last big guys on the track. "We had discussed it at length with the team. Maybe we could also have brought forward the pit stop, but those are always difficult decisions to make. Instead è it was right to differentiate the strategies, because a Safety Car or a red flag can always happen in Singapore. And in that case our strategy would have been perfect", concluded the Monegasque.
