Leclerc: I don’t understand drivers who make excuses after errors
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Charles Leclerc says that he fails to understand why some drivers make excuses after having an on-track mistake.

Leclerc, who is currently in his fifth season of Formula 1 racing, has notably been critical of himself throughout his career following an incident.

Earlier this year, he crashed out of the French Grand Prix while leading the race, resulting in a damaging loss of points in the title fight.

In Imola, he spun while chasing Sergio Perez for second place and ending the race in sixth place.

“I’m always harsher whenever it’s me who does the mistake, and obviously France was one of those which hurt quite a bit,” he told BBC Sport.

“Imola also a little bit, even though there weren’t many points involved because I could go back on track.”

The Monegasque driver says that he fails to understand why certain drivers hide behind their mistakes.

“[Errors are] part of the experience; it’s part of the path of anybody in whatever work you do – at one point, a mistake will happen,” he said.

“Every individual will react in a different way. This is my way of reacting to it. And I’ve always felt the benefit of being honest with yourself and just grow from it.

“I really don’t see the point of hiding it. Sometimes it is so obvious to everybody that the mistake comes from driver, I just don’t understand the drivers that are trying to have excuses with the wind or whatsoever.

“I mean, sometimes it can happen. One out of 200 crashes, you’ll get something very strange happen. 

“But I just don’t like to lose time with finding excuses, because that’s exactly when you start to lose time, and you just don’t go forward.

“This is also good for the people that are working around me because they know that whenever I’m going to do a mistake, I’m going to be very honest and I hope that is going to be the same for them. 

“So then everybody can just learn quicker and it is the case in Ferrari.”
