Charles Leclerc says he bears responsibility for an on-track incident with Ferrari team mate Lewis Hamilton at Monza, ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. Leclerc states it is “pretty clear” he could have handled the situation better and accepts that he did not behave as he should during the race.
The incident occurs on the opening lap of the Italian Grand Prix. In separate reports, both F1 and Sky News describe Leclerc’s remarks as an acknowledgement of his role in the clash and suggest that discussions within Ferrari preceded his public response. While the outlets focus on different phrasing, they agree that Leclerc’s comments are directed at his own actions rather than pointing blame elsewhere.
Leclerc’s statements frame his next steps in terms of adjusting his approach going forward. The reports place his admission in the lead-up to the Spanish Grand Prix, indicating he is addressing the Monza incident publicly before racing resumes.
