Leclerc after frustrating Grand Prix: 'I was quite angry in the car'

Charles Leclerc had quite a fight with Sergio Perez during the Grand Prix. He was even forced off track twice when trying to overtake Perez. Perez was penalised for both instances, but after the race Leclerc himself talked about missing speed.

Taking every opportunity, but it didn't want to work out

"We were strong all the race with the pace but we didn't have the tyre advantage of the reverse strategy so it was very difficult to overtake. Every opportunity that I could see I was going for it. I was pretty angry in the car because I felt like I had no pace" Leclerc explained to Sky Sports F1. The Ferrari driver was in lap-long battles with the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly and Perez.

Not the desired result

Leclerc crossed the finish line in eighth place and took four points back to Italy. Teammate Carlos Sainz did a little better and finished fifth. After Lando Norris finished in P3, Ferrari lost ground in the battle for third place in the Constructors' standings.
