Furious Leclerc slams Ferrari strategy: ‘It’s undrivable — A miracle if we finish in the podium’

Charles Leclerc was left frustrated with the Ferrari pit wall during the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Monegasque driver took to his radio to vent his frustration over what appeared to be a strategy mishap with his race engineer.

The 27-year-old, who started the race on pole position, largely appeared to be well in control of the race until he made his first pit stop on the 20th lap of the event. Following his pitstop the pole sitter began complaining on the radio, and his frustration largely reached its climax when he again yelled out how the Ferrari team had not heeded his suggestions.

“This is so incredibly frustrating. We've lost all competitiveness. You just have to listen to me. I would have found a different way managing those issues. Now it's just undrivable. It's a miracle if we finish on the podium."
