F1 French GP: The truth behind Charles Leclerc’s stuck throttle radio message

The Monegasque 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:spun out of the lead at the Circuit Paul Ricard at the Beausset 🎀right-hander.
Leclerc was unable to reverseꩵ out of the barriers and thus was forced to retir﷽e prematurely on Lap 18.
He took the blame afterwards but many questioned the𓄧 cause of the acc✤ident after his radio message afterwards.
- DRIVER RATINGS: One♍ 10/10 but not for Max Verstappen…
- What did Hamilton say about Leclerc👍 in the cool down room?
- Was Sainz’s strategy another Ferrari ‘disaster’ at French G✅P?
Leclerc said over team radio: “I cannot go on throttle,” not “I cannot go off throttle!” whic🅰h was widely reported on social media.
Afteꦉr Leclerc’s throttle-related issue during the latter stages of the Austrian Grand Prix, it’s understandable✨ why people were quick to link the two.
“No, first there was no issues with the throttle itself, nothing to do with Austria,” Binotto explained. “What happened is a genuine 𓂃mistake of Charles which are things that may happen and I think they do not take off how good he is as a driver and as a fantastic driver. But it was a genuine mistake.
“What you heard on the radio was about when💛 he was𝕴 in reverse gear trying to get out from the barriers, there is a strategy without going in all the details, that somehow he was on the throttle, didn't feel sufficient torque from the engine but was nothing wrong. Simply the strategy there.”

Leclerc explained that he tried to get🔯 the car back to the pit lane as it hadn’t sustained too much damage.
“I t❀ried, but there was something with the clutch not working and I couldn’t reverse, which was a shame because I saw the car and the car was ac🗹tually not too damaged,” Leclerc said.
“But, this is a detail, honestly.🌳 Fi🍨rst of all, I need to not put cars in the wall, and then they should work better.”
