Fernando Alonso on Charles Leclerc's late stop at F1 Belgian Grand Prix: ‘Ferrari always does strange strategy’
Leclerc finished fifth on the road and one place ahead of Alonso but dropped to sixth after൩ rece💮iving a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
The Monegasque pitted when Ferrari made a failed bid to snatch the fastest lap point away from race-winner Max Verstappen by cal🔜ling Leclerc in for soft tyres on the🌠 penultimate lap.
Leclerc was overtaken by Alonso along the Kemmel Straight before repaying the favour on the final lap. Howeveꦯr, Leclerc’s time pe🎀nalty resulted in him slipping back behind Alonso to sixth.
Asked if he was surprised to see 💮Leclerc pit so 🌱late, Alonso told Sky: "Yeah I was surprised.
“But Ferrari always does some stra💃nge strategy, so that was one of those.”
