Charles Leclerc: "It's pretty clear why we didn't win" at the Mexican Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc started the Mexican Grand Prix from pole position and was disappointed not to get the race win. The Ferrari driver finished the race in 4th and had hoped to pick up another race win. 

"I am disappointed, of course,” Leclerc said to Racer.com. “Every time you start first you always want to win and the two last times I started first I didn’t win, so I’m not happy with that. I think it’s pretty clear why and we will learn from this.”

Part of the problem for Leclerc was that he was looking behind him as well as focusing on the race in front. 

“To be completely honest we wanted to cover from (Alex) Albon, which we did,” he said. “And then from then on, I think it was very difficult to do better because with the two-stop it was very difficult to stay behind the cars and to overtake at the end even with a very good pit stop.

“I just did my race and obviously I also thought in the car that at that time it was probably the right thing to do to cover Albon’s position so I was not too concerned. Then I realized later in the race it was not the right choice, but there was no reasons for me to be angry on the radio.”

Leclerc will hope that Ferrari performs well in the final stint of the season and that he can pick up another race win.
