Charles Leclerc expresses regret over radio message at Miami Grand Prix

During the Miami Grand Prix Sprint, Charles Leclerc expressed regret over a harsh radio message directed at fellow driver Kimi Antonelli. Leclerc admitted, “No, I was being a bit harsh, maybe, with the adrenaline inside the car.” This acknowledgment came after he finished third in the race.

Kimi Antonelli faced a five-second penalty for excessive track limit breaches, which contributed to the tension between the two drivers. Leclerc had previously headed Max Verstappen in practice, finishing 0.164 seconds clear of him.

Key statistics from the Miami Grand Prix:

• Leclerc finished third in the Sprint race.
• Kimi Antonelli holds a seven-point lead in the Drivers’ standings after this event.
• Leclerc currently has 55 points and ranks third in the standings.

This incident is not isolated; Leclerc noted that they have had their moments with Antonelli in the past. He hopes that this situation will calm down moving forward.

In practice, George Russell encountered a turbo problem and recorded the sixth-fastest time. The competitive atmosphere among Ferrari and Red Bull continues to intensify as they prepare for upcoming races.
