In a thrilling turn of events at the Imola race, Charles Leclerc was left fuming as Lewis Hamilton refused to give him DRS assistance, leading to a heated exchange between the two drivers.
Leclerc’s plea for Hamilton to provide him with DRS support was shut down by Ferrari, who believed Hamilton had a chance to catch up with Oscar Piastri in P3. However, a misunderstanding on Leclerc’s part, caused by a malfunctioning dashboard, led him to believe it was the final lap when there were still a few laps remaining.
The frustrated Leclerc expressed his disappointment with Ferrari’s current situation, stating, “I cannot accept the situation we are in.” Despite starting from P11, Leclerc pushed the limits during the race, taking risks and defending his aggressive driving style.
The Ferrari driver’s clash with Alex Albon was particularly intense, with Leclerc defending his actions as being on the edge of the rules. He emphasized that he had given his all during the race and was prepared for the challenges that came his way.
Leclerc’s determination and relentless pursuit of victory at Imola showcased his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries and delivering a spectacular performance on the track.
