Leclerc offers Verstappen

Leclerc, with the advantage of winning pole, leading within the start. And despite the great pressure from Verstappen in the next 10 rounds, the Ferrari driver still succeeded when gradually increasing the distance with the defending champion for more than a second, preventing Verstappen from using the DRS wing. At this time, because he was hopeless in finding a way to overcome, Red Bull decided to return to the pit, bringing Verstappen to replace the tire for the first time in the 16th round.

Leclerc still stays at the track and comes with a set of tires. The problem posed to Ferrari now is the Monaco riders will continue to use the old tire for how long before stopping, and whether he can hold the leading position after returning to the race. But less than two rounds later, Leclerc lost control, causing the F1-75 to rotate when starting the corner of the high-speed Turn 11.

The sled on the track and crashed into the barrier, causing Leclerc to give up early in an instant. He tried to step back but failed. He exchanged through radio waves: "I can't increase the gas". Shortly thereafter, when clearly aware of the consequences and chances of winning, the Monaco racer screamed "No!".

Thanks to Leclerces early, Verstappen has no opponent in the rest of the race. Safe cars deployed after the accident of Ferrari could not hinder the Dutch driver. He easily defended the success before Lewis Hamilton when the car safely left, and then the ice reached the finish line. Completing 53 races at Paul Ricard with a time of 1 hour 30 minutes 2.112 seconds, Verstappen is 10.587 second faster than the second person.

The seventh victory after the past 12 stages of the 2022 season helped the Dutch riders expand the distance on the personal table to 63 points when the tournament was only 10 legs. "Of course, Leclerc is not lucky. Hope he is fine. I simply performed my own race and tried to control the tire," Verstappen said after the race. However, according to the Dutch driver, Red Bull has not met the requirements in the class, and this is why the team needs to continue trying.

With Leclerc, failure because the loss of driving on the Paul Ricard race is another bitter fruit, because Vanh used to remove Verstappen to 46 points through the first three stages of the season. Previously, the errors were almost from Ferrari - two engine errors and two tactical errors when leading. But at the French Grand Prix yesterday, Leclerc made a big personal error, after a small mistake, leading to severe consequences.

Meanwhile, Hamilton has a good race to mark a 100 -stage F1 round mark. He passed Sergio Perez right after the starting to occupy third place, holding Red Bull's Mexican racing feet in the first rounds, then gradually passed the opponent for three seconds when Leclerc was about to give up

Hamilton also created a comfortable distance in the rest of the race with Perez, pushing Red Bull's riders into a position to fight with George Russell (Mercedes) and Carlos Saintz (Ferrari) for the rest of the top 3.

Therefore, second place, according to Hamilton, is a great result. "The race is difficult, especially when my car water bottle is wise, but the W13 is still superior to the competitors in the majority of the exams. I am really surprised with the stability of the car," the Mercedes racer racer speak.
