P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Charles Leclerc still faces an investigation himself, but there was no doubting who caused his race-ending accident.
Charles Leclerc accused Kimi Antonelli of making a misjudged overtaking attempt that ruined his race and led to his retirement. Antonelli spun Leclerc at Turn 3 on lap 53 due to differing grip levels following a pit stop. Antonelli’s lower line caused contact and a collision that ended Leclerc’s race with heavy damage at the same corner where Hamilton crashed. Antonelli received a 10-second penalty for the collision while Leclerc is also under investigation for colliding with George Russell. Leclerc admitted that aggressiveness is necessary for overtaking at Zandvoort but felt Antonelli was too optimistic in their incident. Leclerc described the events as a result of misjudgment rather than just bad luck, emphasizing the need for assertiveness in racing situations.
