The blood-curdling scream of Charles Leclerc is echoing in the minds of the entire F1 fraternity. The Monegasque blamed himself for the crash that saw him retire from a lead once again. Leclerc had only just ended his five-race podium-less run with a win in Austria, but it was back to square one in France.
Anyone who watched the French GP or is keeping up with the current season will sympathize with Leclerc. Ferrari, for the first time in a decade, has a competitive car, but that is not enough, it seems. In three races, Leclerc has amassed a massive total of 75 points lost after retiring from a leading position.

A crash from a leading position is hugely frustrating for any driver. But three mishaps, when you’re fighting for a championship, are nightmarish and we can only assume what Leclerc is going through. A video of the aftermath of the crash is being circulated online and Leclerc’s frustrations are clearly visible.
“it’s just a video stop crying”

The string of bad luck, if you would like to call it that, is making the task at Red Bull that much easier. After the French GP, Mercedes has already crept up to a touching distance of Ferrari in the constructors’ championship.

Charles Leclerc showcases his frustration after a heartbreaking crash
The full video of Leclerc’s crash really showcases his frustrations. Leclerc’s case is so evident that even the rescue team members were patting his back. One rescue team member even consoled the Ferrari man as he sat down and took his helmet off.
I know everyone’s already seen the video of Charles Leclerc being comforted by marshals after his crash but I had not and I can confirm I am not ok 💔🥺 #F1 #FrenchGP

You all noticed marshals MUST touch drivers as many times as possible when they crash – happens all the time 😂 for years.
Like the @Charles_Leclerc video, they just put their hands on him 100x for no reason 🤔 don’t console, when someone’s angry leave them alone! #F1 #FrenchGP https://t.co/cBkkOatuxC
