Charles Leclerc: Kimi Misjudged It and Ruined My Race | Post Race Interview | Dutch Grand Prix 2025

I understand you wanting to go and get back but just it was just unlucky on so many fronts today for you. Can you take that as unlucky or have you got any other feelings towards it today? No, I mean I think you said it right. I think Kimi's incident is the way it is. I think mistakes happen on a track like this. You've got to be incisive and aggressive to make a pass and that's what I've done as well against George. That's what Kimi tried to do on myself but I think he probably misjudged it and kind of ruined my race. So it's a shame but it's the way it is. You said on the radio the tyres felt good. You didn't feel you needed to pit at the moment that you did and that could have been avoided. Was that the case? No, but I guess the engineers had, I mean the team had a different opinion with all the data they had available and they thought that this was the right choice which maybe it was but obviously that puts us into a situation of quite a bit of stress but apart from that yeah I don't think it was a mistake either way.
