CHARLES LECLERC WAS forced to retire while leading the French Grand Prix on Sunday after his Ferrari came off the track and crashed into the safety barriers on the 18th lap.
Leclerc, who was unhurt in the crash, started in pole position ahead of championship leader Max Verstappen who moved to the front, ahead of Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes.
Leclerc’s frustration was captured in this audio from his team radio:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Poor fecker. He’s going through all those stresses Verstappen was going through last year, when they want the championship too much. He still has a shot this season but he’ll need to chill and stay focused.
