Q-how much hope can you have that there'll be a fix in time for Spain?
"We have a fix. We have different configurations between cars, and I think we have found a solution. So that is positive. I didn't really want to change this weekend and for that maybe I am to blame in a way that I thought that on a track like this in Monaco it was good to start with brakes that I knew but considering the issues I've dealt with and that there are no solutions on a track like this."
Leclerc gained it all on Lewis on his own without even being informed about the penalty and then they screw him over in favour of Lewis, I cannot believe this team
Charles : « J’ai toujours été très honnête. peu importe le nombre d'erreurs que je fais, je DÉTESTERAIS me regarder dans le miroir et me voir trouver des excuses quand je fais une erreur, c'est pourquoi je suis toujours brutalement honnête quand je suis devant les caméras, mais aujourd’hui je ne vais prendre en rien la responsabilité. »

a sunday with charles leclerc:
> not much confidence on the track because his brakes were fucked
> had to avoid max at the start
> engine cuts for a little bit of the race
> managed to close the gap, didn't know lewis had a penalty and ferrari decides to make him serve the penalty too
> tarmac is ruined, his brakes decide to give up right there
🎙️| Charles Leclerc:
“The data speaks for itself. I don’t know how much I can go into the detail, but it’s extremely frustrating.”
“I think I’ve always been very honest, and no matter how many mistakes I do, I would hate to look at myself in the mirror and see myself finding excuses when I do a mistake. So that’s why I’m always bluntly honest whenever I’m in front of cameras.”
“But today I’m not going to take any of it. I touch the brakes and there’s just something with those brakes — on the front brakes, it just brakes a lot more than what I thought, and in the rear brakes, it had no deceleration at all. It’s like I had no rear brakes at all.”
“And yeah, that’s what I’m dealing with since two races now. We’ve had some differences of brakes in between cars, but I don’t think it’s been a disadvantage for me at all. But here and in Montreal, with cold tyre temperatures, the inconsistency — and then the tyres being a lot more sensitive because you’re on the limit of those tyres — has just been an absolute nightmare.”
“And I’m weighing my words. I mean, I don’t have many words. Today I look like an idiot. And when you look like an idiot for a mistake of yours, it’s fine. But it’s borderline dangerous.”
Charles : « Ce n’est pas que je n’ai pas le contrôle, c’est que c’est impossible d’avoir le contrôle, les freins sont on/off et ça a été mon problème depuis les deux dernières courses. Encore une fois, on a une solution et Lewis est allé dans cette direction il y a 3-4 courses. C’était juste inconduisible pour moi aujourd’hui. »
« Le pit ? Je voulais rester dehors, les pneus étaient plutôt bien, et surtout je n’avais pas envie de me faire pénaliser en attendant derrière Lewis car on n’a pas le droit de ralentir dans la pit lane, la FIA nous l’a dit avant la course. J’ai dû ralentir, mais ce n’est qu’un détail comparé à l’enfer que j’ai passé aussi bien à Montréal qu’ici, ça va changer pour Barcelone, j’espère retrouver le feeling avec la voiture. Extrêmement frustré. Extrêmement énervé. Extrêmement triste car c’est la maison. Mais ce n’est pas de l’énervement contre moi aujourd’hui et je suis… c’est difficile. »
