Charles Leclerc jumped Ferrari teammate, Sebastian Vettel, at the start as he lunged down the inside to take third place into Turn 3 to slot behind Valtteri Bottas’ Mercedes. However, the plan did not work out well as he could not get close enough to the Mercedes.

Being an enterprising young driver, he did not hold back his emotions as he vented to his engineer about losing a ton of time behind the other Ferrari. Watch his angry radio message below:
