Leclerc and Vettel about their collision in Austria: "It's behind us"
- GPblog.com
The second Grand Prix of the season could not have been worse for Ferrari than with a double failure. As in Brazil 2019, the two Ferraris came into contact and shortly after that it was over for Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc. The youngest driver said a week later that it is outspoken and behind them.
Equally apologized
"We've put it behind us yes," says Leclerc today to media in Hungary. "I directly went to talk to Seb after the race to excuse myself. I think he accepted that, now it's behind us and on my side, I will focus on this weekend, trying to achieve the best result possible."
Vettel echoed Leclerc's words, saying the same thing: "These things are the worst that can happen. Obviously if two cars of the same colour come together, it's something we always try to avoid. But we're racing and this stuff unfortunately is a part of it. We spoke about it, it's behind us and a couple of days later, we have a chance to do better in Hungary."
For Ferrari it's important that the two drivers do make it to the finish line now, because they only scored some points in the first Grand Prix of the season. Here Leclerc crossed the finish line in second place after Hamilton got a penalty. A present for the Monegask where Vettel spun through a bump and didn't get any further than the tenth position.
