Ferrari driver Charles LeClerc was absolutely furious when he lost a position to Max Verstappen in the pit stop phase of the British Grand Prix. Up until then, the two drivers had been trading blows for a long time and entered the pits nose-to-tail.

When the two rivals pitted, LeClerc was ahead, but the Red Bull team were lightning fast and Verstappen leapfrogged Charles LeClerc. Later on, when the safety car was called out to retrieve the beached car of Antonio Giovinazzi, LeClerc let rip into the team.
