Charles Leclerc has had his fair share of good moments in the streets of Baku. He won at the track when he was racing in F2. But since he entered F1, he has had a mixed bag of results in Baku. The Ferrari driver had one of his most infamous moments in the sport when crashed at the castle section in 2019.

Leclerc berated himself for the crash and called himself stupid for crashing and throwing away a chance to secure pole position. Since then there have been a lot of memes made of that moment.

During the race preview, an F1 TV journalist even poked fun at him while describing the track layout. “It’s all 90-degree bends, and walls that Charles Leclerc is going to crash into,” said the journalist. The comments did not go well with the Leclerc fans, and they took to social media to point out the moment.

Well, the reactions from the fans could have been a bit extreme. But do you think Sam Collins was right to take that dig at Leclerc?

The Ferrari‘s incredible straight-line speed, Leclerc was the favorite to secure pole position heading into qualifying. But his crash ruined his chances to get the top spot on the grid. He then took to the team radio to blame himself for the crash.

“I deserve what happened today and I’m very sad for what happened but I deserve it, I’ve been stupid, as I said on the radio. I’ve calmed down but I still think I’ve been stupid. This doesn’t change. I will push to learn from this and come back stronger and hopefully have a very good race tomorrow. But yeah, yeah, I deserve it.”

“I don’t want to say anything stupid but I think after looking at FP1, FP2, FP3, and Q1, the pole was possible today, and I threw all the potential in the bin. So, I am very disappointed and I’ll come back stronger from this,” said Leclerc.
