The 27-year-old, who started the race on pole position, largely appeared to be well in control of the race until he made his first pit stop on the 20th lap of the event. Following his pitstop the pole sitter began complaining on the radio, and his frustration largely reached its climax when he again yelled out how the
Ferrari team had not heeded his suggestions.
It would be later found out after the race that he had encountered a problem with the chassis of the car.
The incident for
Charles Leclerc witnessed his underwhelming pole position to race victory run continue. The
Ferrari driver has now failed to convert 15 of his last 16 P1 starts into race victories.
