Charles Leclerc said he would close himself off for a few days after his crash at the French Grand Prix as the gutted Ferrari star "just wants to stay alone".
Leclerc was leading the race in France when disaster struck. He lost control of his rear tyres when trying to exit a corner a little too quickly, and it proved fatal to his chances of victory as he span off the track and into a tyre wall.
He screamed "No!" over team radio and cut a dejected figure as he returned to the paddock. He knew that, in throwing away the race win, he had gifted title rival Max Verstappen the chance to move 63 points clear at the top of the standings.
