Charles Leclerc says he only kept going with his damaged Ferrari in the Formula 1 Dutch GP in the hope that rain would create a chance to score some points.
on the damp first lap of the race before diving into the pits for a switch to intermediates, which proved to be slow as the crew wasn't ready with his tyres.
He tumbled down the order and, shortly after being demoted to 16th by rookie Liam Lawson, he was called in to retire the car."Already at the first lap when we had the damage I could feel much more than the guys were telling me on the radio," he said. "We were just waiting for some rain, to be honest. Obviously, it's very tricky to drive a car with 60 points less in the rain, but it also adds a lot of chaos, and you can do something different than others and maybe score one or two points.
Regarding the clash with Piastri, he said:"We were in wet conditions with slicks, it was such a slight touch but for some reason, it had huge consequences on my car, so a shame."
