“There are things we could have done better,” said Leclerc. It was the second time in four races Leclerc has lost a winning position through a team strategic error, after he also dropped from first to fourth in Monaco. Leclerc added: “Is there a disappointment after the last race because we finished first and fourth? “But obviously before the safety car you were first and second and you finished the race first and fourth so there’s some kind of disappointment too. “He was first quite angry with me after Silverstone because he saw me extremely down, which obviously he understood, but he just wanted to make sure that I was OK,” Leclerc said.
