Up until his mistake, it was a masterstroke from Russell, as he rejoined in third as the rain fell, while Leclerc was unable to make up any positions🎶.

Speaking after the race, Leclerc was quick to defend Ferrari for the deci♕sions they made during the race.

"We have done mistakes on strategy i𒁃n the past. I don't think this was a mistake. In those conditions, you have more probability of having a safety car, with so many cars on slicks in the rain.

"So we were waဣiting for a safety car by someone making a mistake. That didn't happen and that's it. With the benefit of hindsight, stopping befor💟e was the right decision.

"We had a very difficultꦰ car in traffic. Our pace is bet൩ter than what we have shown today. In the end, I couldn't do much more. The car was very difficult to drive in the wet."
