Max Verstappen won the French Grand Prix after Charles Leclerc crashed out while leading, a mistake that dropped the Ferrari driver 63 points behind the defending F1 champion.
Leclerc's race ended on Lap 18 when he lost the rear of his car coming out of Turn 11, spinning 360 degrees before crashing into a tire wall. Leclerc could not speak at first, breathing heavily in his helmet before telling his team the mishap was caused by a throttle problem.It's the third time this season Leclerc has failed to finish a race, while Ferrari has had seven DNF's through 12 races.
Verstappen was tentative early and Leclerc held him off, but the Dutchman went for an undercut on Lap 17 with hard tires. Ferrari didn't attempt to counter Red Bull’s strategy, only for Leclerc to crash one lap later. As drivers switched tires under the safety car, Ferrari’s mistakes continued. Carlos Sainz Jr. received a five-second penalty for an unsafe release that almost led to a collision with a Williams car.“Come on, guys, I can’t believe you told me to box then,” Sainz grumbled. “I don’t know why we boxed. I don’t understand.”“At Ferrari we get super criticized for things other teams might go through in their pit stop window. We are not the disaster people seem to say we are,” Sainz said.
