Formula One: Verstappen leads French Grand Prix after Leclerc crash – live!
“Mistake,” admits Leclerc of the prang that offered Verstappen the race. “I am losing too many points. We were the strongest on track today and it’s unacceptable. It’s trying to push too much and I lost the rear. When it’s warm like this it’s difficult be consistent. I made the mistake at the wrong moment.No further investigation, say the stewards. So Russell must chase third place. Sainz has set a fastest lap and is in sixth and chasing down Fernando Alonso.
Verstappen says he is “struggling with the left front”, the same was said by Hamilton a while back. This has been a tough examination of the teams. Nicholas Latifi, not for the first time, has come to grief in the Williams and Kevin Magnussen in the Haas clatters into him.Pierre Gasly overtakes Kevin Magnussen to cheers from the home contingent as Sainz hunts down Perez, with DRS actionable.
