Shortly after the race, Lecle🌳rc shed some light on his retirement in Barcelona.

“To be honest there were two issues,” Leclerc said. “The first one was that the engine switched off and then I tried to switch it on again, when I saw it wasn’t starting again I took over the seat belts, then I had to box again for the seat belts. Unfortunately, the race was already over before that when the engine switched off. It’s a sha✤me but we will work to try to understand what went wrong.

Ferrari team-mไate Sebastian Vettel opted for the one-stop strategy and finished seventh.

Without his issue, Leclerc believes he could have finished in♐side the top six - by also running the on🤡e-stop strategy like Vettel.

“Well to be completely honest it wasn’t that bad of a race,'' Leclerc added. “I think we had a good chance to finish around P6,ꦿ P7. We were very quick on the softs towards the end and then on the mediums we couldn’t show [our pace] as we were in traffic. We were planning the one stop on my side and it🦄 was working pretty well until the issue.''
