Perez: "I'm happy for the team, but we need to speak later"

Charles Leclerc lost power while leading the Spanish GP and had to retire from the race losing out on 26 points for the championship.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc headed off to a great start at the Spanish GP until he met his first bad luck of the year and lost power. He retired from the race losing out on 26 points for the drivers’ championship.

Leclerc had just set the fastest lap and looked very comfortable at the front when he screamed, “NO! NO! What’s happened? I’ve got no power!”

He got back to the pits and remained optimistic about his loss. He said, “I lost power and had to stop because of an issue. I don’t know yet what the reason is. It hurts. But there are some positives, we have shown that we were quick.”

Tifosi had their hopes high with the Monegasque leading the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona and looking very comfortable at the front. But after Leclerc’s retirement and his teammate Carlos Sainz’s spin that has got him stuck at P5, the Tifosi are heartbroken.
