In the race for GP of Singapore he had a young man Leclerc the feeling that she had been taken away from him third in a row wins, which he also made clear over and over again during the race radio communications. When told to stay focused, he replied sharply, “I am focused, no worries. I just wanted you to know how I feel. I don’t understand this undercut, but we’ll talk about that later."
The decisive moment in this race it took place after the end 19th round. Sebastian Vettel he wrapped himself in the pits for fresh tires. Nemec was in third place at the moment for Leclerc in Hamilton. The latter then stayed longer on the track. Leclerc he turned the circle to change wheels Vettel, but came on the track behind his teammate. Hamilton however, he later led both of them to the track Ferrari and also for Verstappen v Red Bullu. It's later Leclerc requested from the team maximum engine power, therefore his wish was not granted. “We need to think about engine life." Leclerc he immediately replied: "No worries, I won’t be doing any nonsense."
Here in Sochi it is Leclerc sounded much more humble. His performance here in Russia he gave the impression that his boss Mattia Binotto talked to him seriously in private, which he is Sebastian Vettel described as follows: “No one is bigger than the team and above all, no one is bigger than Ferrari. It wasn’t even Michael Schumacher and he was very big.“He was so big Schumacher, is so small now Leclerc in Sochi. Monačan said of himself: “My reaction over the radio was exaggerated and showed that I still had a lot to learn. Looking back on those moments, then I have to say that there was no need for such statements. The team did everything right and we left Singapore with a double win."
Leclerc added: “This will not happen again. However, it’s hard in a race car because you’re full of adrenaline. I wake up in the morning and think about how I could win the race, and later in the evening I go to bed and think again about how I could win the race. And if then the opportunity slips through your fingers, then it’s hard. I need to control myself better. In the future, I will simply keep my mouth shut. In Singapore, I learned that it doesn’t bring anything if you’re so emotional on the radio. The whole thing is even more complicated. The result of the team must be at the center. In the race in Singapore, we reached the finish line in the first two places and that makes me very happy."
