And Leclerc started well despite the rainy conditions which unfortunately saw Mick Schumacher involved in a horror crash.

However, in the 22nd lap, the ace was called into the pits along with teammate Carlos Sainz.

But as Leclerc approached the turn-off, his race engineer started shouting "stay out, stay out!"

Yet it was too late and so the Ferrari star was forced into a stop.

Then, as Leclerc re-entered the race, he found himself passed by both Max Verstappen and his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.

Leclerc was far from happy, and blasted Ferrari's terrible tactical decision on the radio.

He was heard yelling: "Why?! What are you doing?!"

But it was too little, too late, with Leclerc’s own Ferrari teammate Sainz also moving ahead in the rankings.
