Charles Leclerc says he will be more aggressive inꦜ his driving style after Max Verstappen avoided a penalty following their clash in the closing stages of tღhe Austrian Grand Prix.
Ferrari driver Leclerc was⛄ passed for the lead by Verstappen with three laps to go at the Red Bull Ring two weeks ago after being pushed wide exiting the corner, prompting a stewards’ investigation after the race.
The🎶 officials eventually opted to take no action, confirming the victory for Verstappen and Red Bull, leaving Leclerc still waiting for his maiden F1 success.
Despite feeling aggrieved at the time, Leclerc said ahead of this weekend𝔍’s British Grand Prix that he was happy to move on - so long as the stewards were consistent in th𓃲eir officiating moving forward.
“I don’t have any problems and it was very easy for me to move on. The only thing is that I would lꦐike maybe a♎ bit more consistency,” Leclerc said.
“I feel like there have been some other incidents in the past which have been less big, in a way, and that have been penalised. If we can race thaﷺt way, I’m more than happy to race that way. I think it’s good for Formula 1. I think it’s wꦜhat us drivers want.
“We just need to know what wꦰe can expec𒀰t from the others, and on that, I think that’s why I would like probably more consistency on the penalties.
“I think obviously at the moment, I felt it was frustrating. Look♕ing back at it, I’m happy that we can now race like tꦜhis. I just want it to be consistent. If it’s consistent, I’m very happy to be racing like this.”
Asked if he would change his approach as a result of the ruling, Leclerc said: “As drivers, we always try to be as🗹 close as the rules limit us to be.
“So I will definitely change a little🃏 bit and adjust a little bit my aggreℱssion."
