Charles Leclerc told to cut out 'rash' moves in Max Verstappen battle by world champion

Former Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill has warned Ferrari superstar Charles Leclerc that he cannot make any ‘rash’ moves while racing reigning champ and rival Max Verstappen.

The Monegasque racer currently has a 27-point lead over Verstappen as they head into the fifth race of the season, the Miami Grand Prix, this weekend. Verstappen was able to close the gap at Imola by securing maximum points in the Sprint race and the race on Sunday - with the Dutchman taking fastest lap, too.

Verstappen, the 2021 world champion, failed to finish two of the opening three races of the season due to technical issues. As a result, Leclerc burst into a dominant lead and he now faces pressure to compete for - and win - a world title for the first time in his career.
