Mattia Binottoimmediately after the race, he did not mince words to judge the five-second penalty inflicted on Charles Leclerc for cutting the chicane, speaking of the FIA’s decision that made no sense, highlighting how the Monegasque did not achieve “no advantage”From the maneuver, given that he had not substantially increased his gap on Sergio Perez. In the interviews granted at the end of the race that won the world champion Max Verstappen, Leclerc analyzed the incident as follows, without wishing to argue: “I don’t have much to say, I didn’t know it was the last lap and the five second penalty was the right decision, honestly. Obviously Checo was putting a lot of pressure behind me and I was struggling with both the front and the end I made a mistakewhich I tried to minimize by going straight “.
With the third place in Suzuka, Leclerc also lost the second position in the championship, again mocked by Perez. The Monegasque does not look for excuses for his race, marked by the excessive consumption of the Intermediate compounds that forced him to run substantially in defense: “Clearly today’s was a frustrating race for us, because the pace disappeared after four laps, but that’s the way it went. I struggled a lot with the tires, a bit like what happened in the last race. We are very strong at warming up the tires, but we destroy them after three or four laps and so we struggled. The goal now is to do well in the last four races. We hope to use them to become a better team and we hope to give more trouble for next year. Congratulations to Max on his second world champion title ”.
