The image of the ideal son-in-law of Charles Leclerc took a little slap in the muzzle… While he was already experiencing a difficult season at the wheel of his single-seater at Ferrari, the F1 driver had an ordeal Sunday during the Belgian Grand Prix won, oh surprise, by Lewis Hamilton. In addition to having started in 13th position - the fault of a car as well prepared as the French return to school at the time of the Covid-19 -, the Monegasque also had to count on an error of his team at the time of the passage at the stand to change your tires.

A delay in the preparation of the tires and here is Leclerc nailed to the ground for too many seconds. So, when it was time to leave, and forgetting that his microphone was still on, the pilot let himself go, shouting "The damn of his race!" ". Informed of this blunder, the star of the Italian team admitted with a laugh that he had not "been very polite".

And sorry for the radio team, maybe I should have turned off the radio after the pit stop 😅
It wasn't on purpose 😬😘

Later, he will finally publish a small tweet to explain that he had not noticed that his microphone was still open when he screamed his frustration. On arrival, the two Ferraris finished sad 14th (Leclerc) and 15th (Vettel) places, far behind Mercedes' silver arrows of Lewis Hamilton (first) and Valtieri Bottas (second).
