The blood-curdling scream of Charles Leclerc is echoing in the minds of the entire F1 fraternity. The Monegasque blamed himself for the crash that saw him retire from a lead once again. Leclerc had only just ended his five-race podium-less run with a win in Austria, but it was back to square one in France.

Anyone who watched the French GP or is keeping up with the current season will sympathize with Leclerc. Ferrari, for the first time in a decade, has a competitive car, but that is not enough, it seems. In three races, Leclerc has amassed a massive total of 75 points lost after retiring from a leading position.

A crash from a leading position is hugely frustrating for any driver. But three mishaps, when you’re fighting for a championship, are nightmarish and we can only assume what Leclerc is going through. A video of the aftermath of the crash is being circulated online and Leclerc’s frustrations are clearly visible.

The string of bad luck, if you would like to call it that, is making the task at Red Bull that much easier. After the French GP, Mercedes has already crept up to a touching distance of Ferrari in the constructors’ championship.
