Leclerc: "I am getting used to getting back home disappointed"

Charles Leclerc criticized Ferrari 's strategic misstep at the Monaco Grand Prix, which dropped him from first to fourth place. The local hero admitted that the setback was painful, partly because he did not understand his team's decision.

After being the fastest man all weekend, nothing seemed to stand in Leclerc's way of winning his home race and thus breaking the "curse" that has been tormenting him in recent years. Yet again, it was not to be.

In conversation with Sky Sports after the race, Leclerc said that mistakes can be made, but that Ferrari made too many on Sunday in Monte Carlo. "I am getting used to going back home disappointed," the Monegasque said of his continued bad luck in his home race.

He speaks of a 'clearly wrong decision' by his team to bring him in at that moment. This was also reflected in the panicked radio message addressed to the Monegasque, who would not have been aware of the plan to go to intermediates.
