Having gone three events in a row finishing inside the points, Charles Leclerc goes back-to-back races without picking up a point. This weekend Leclerc claims he was frustrated with the teams wet weather tyre choice.

The man from Monaco summed his day up to the Formula 1 channel following the German Grand Prix. It was obvious the young driver was not best pleased. 

“It was a hugely disappointing day. I had such a good start and could keep my position because the speed was very good in the car. The rain came and I was immediately called in,” said Leclerc. 

“It rained too lightly for rain tyres, which made them wear too hard. After a few rounds, I was able to go back to the pits, which meant was race was over. Now we have to take a look at Hungary to achieve something in the last race before the summer break.” 

Perhaps making matters worse, his team-mate Marcus Ericsson picked up two points in the Grand Prix. The gap between Sauber and Toro Rosso is now just two points.
