Leclerc reacts to British GP win
“With Kimi, it would have been close. He was very fast when he was coming towards me, so it would have been very difficult to keep that first place.
“Then I’ve heard he had a problem, so I was like, okay, now I have quite a big gap, and it should be straightforward.
“But then the safety car at the end. And for whatever reason, I think some backmarkers had to pass us. I did all the safety car time at like 100, 120 kph. My tyres were completely cold, so I was very sceptical about the restart.
“It’s not great for the fans that are here around the track, but in the helmet, I was kind of happy that there was not a restart to keep that win.”
