Charles Leclerc post-race interview: "Not winning constructors' title hurts" | Abu Dhabi GP

Charles Leclerc speaking after finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the final round of the 2024 Formula 1 championship:

“I knew I had to be very aggressive, so on Lap 1 I took all the risks possible to gain as many places as possible to be in a good position for the rest of the race. Unfortunately, we were starting too far back to do anything better than what we did. I think we did the maximum. It hurts when a season is so close until the end. It was a hard hit on Friday and we gave it our all and we just come short of our goal. It’s a shame but we gave it everything.”

On becoming team-mates with Lewis Hamilton in 2025:

“Lewis has achieved so much in the sport and it will be a big motivation. For now though, I’m thinking about the past year and the past years I’ve done with Carlos. We have had an amazing relationship. We have pushed each other. I really hoped we could finish these four years with the Constructors’ Championship. Obviously now the disappointment is here and I will have four or five days to reset then think about next year.”
