Charles Leclerc crashed out on the first lap of the Australian GP race after a collision with Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll, but the Ferrari driver was not angry and says it was a racing incident.

Leclerc doesn't blame Stroll

The Australian Grand Prix started with a safety car on the first lap, as Leclerc's car had to be recovered from the gravel pit. In a hectic start, things did not go well between Stroll and Leclerc, as they touched, causing the Ferarri to spin out into the gravel.
Speaking to Band tv, the Monegasque said, "I took the first corner very carefully, but Stroll came out wrong and couldn't continue to the right. So I think it's a racing incident."
