A collision with Aston Martin’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll led to Leclerc spinning out on the opening lap of Sunday’s race in Melbourne for his secondꦅ DNF in three races. 

Leclerc has endured a torrid start to 2023, with an engine failure forcing him into retirement at the season-opener in Bahrain and leading to a grid penalty for using too many power unit components at the second round in Saudi Ara𝐆bia. 

The Monegasque’s only finish so far this season was a seventh place in Jeddah, leaving him 10th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:championship with just six points. It marks his worst start to ജa campaign with Ferrari. 

“Frustrated, obviously,” Leclerc summed up after th✱e race꧒.  

“It’s the worst ever st🧸art of the season. Only six points or eight points, I don’t know what it is in total. Frustra🐻ting.”

Despite his frustrations, Lecle𝔍rc stopped short of pinning the blame🅰 for his first-lap incident on Stroll. 

“At turn one I took it easy and turn three I wasn’t really planning an overtake at first on Lance,” he e🐎xplained. “Then I saw that he had to brake very early because of Fernando in front🌠 that was braking early.

“So I released the brakes and put myself alongside Lance and then Fernando had꧃ to brake even more. So Lance found himse🍷lf between me and Fernando and he couldn’t turn in and we had contact.

“I’m not pointing the finger at Lance because I think he just had no choice once Fernando♊ slowed down the car the second time. 

“For me it was just impossible to see whether Lance was staying behind Fernando. He was just inไ between, obviously I didn’t think that he was there. So it’s just extremely frustrating.”

With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:five-second time penalty r♏elegating him from fourth to 12th, Ferrari failed to score points in Australia as their miserable start to the 🐻season continued. 

Ferrari remain fourth in the constructors' standings but are already nearly 100 points behind Red B♔ull and 30 points adrift of third-placed Merce🐈des.

Bu♛t team principal Frederic Vasseur insisted there are still “positives” to take from the weekend.&nbꦕsp;

"If you look at the weekend, we are disappointed with ไthe result but the level of performance was there,” Vasseur told C4. 

“We didn’t put everything together but the pace was good [in theജ race]. We had to do an extra pit stop but except for this the pace was🦄 okay. 

“🗹It’s a real step forward compared to a couple of weeks ago in Jeddah. Now we need to do another step in Baku.”
