Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are two of the best drivers F1 has right now. While one is already a two-time world champion, the other is good enough to give any champion a run for their money. Strict rivals on the track, Verstappen, and Leclerc, however, came together to share their emotions in the same way.

It was another bad day at the office for Leclerc in Brazil. Yet another strategic failure by Ferrari and the Monegasque starts Saturday’s sprint from P10. Despite having a high-performance car, the Ferrari driver starts behind the Alpine duo of Esteban Ocon, Fernando Alonso, and surprisingly, pole sitter Kevin Magnussen.

Things started to go worse for Leclerc in Q3. As there were forecasts of rain, the Ferrari driver immediately put on intermediates for the flying lap. However, all the other drivers were on slicks. When both the driver and team understood their mistake, it was too late as most of the drivers completed their laps on slicks.

The Red flag after George Russell went off the track made things more difficult. As Leclerc got to know that he was on the out-lap, when everyone was done with their laps, the Monegasque stated in disappointment, “Beautiful, f*cking beautiful.” Fans reacted as this was the same as what Max Verstappen said on the radio during the US GP.
