“I braked to be alongside him and I misjudged. So I was on the right, I didn’t want to impede either the cars behind, so I was a bit in the middle by being frustrated and looking in the mirror. It was very dangerous to try and not impede, and then we collided. But it was a misunderstanding more than anything.”
Leclerc was then asked whether he moved into Norris to make a point, to which he replied: “No, no, no. I mean, you’re always frustrated when you do that, but you never want to touch, because obviously, in FP3, that’s the last thing you want to do, to damage the car, first of all, because I’ve got qualifying right after. So it’s never the goal.”
