Leclerc and Verstappen cause hilarious mistake during podium ceremony

After Formula 1 racing, as usual, it makes sense to move on to the podium ceremony. The top three drivers enter the prepared podium. Nothing difficult about it, you might say. For Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, it is slightly different.

Sergio Perez simply walks to the top step of the podium, but behind him things get exciting. Television shows Leclerc on the left of the podium. However, it is always the case that the number two takes a seat there. The Dutchman also happily joined in this game of musical chairs and, without seeming to realise it, ended up in third place.

The Limburger also suddenly assumed a Monegasque nationality when the FIA's electronic flags came up behind the podium. The Ferrari driver was thus renamed a Dutchman.
