Ex-Ferrari star slams Charles Leclerc for criticising the team in public – "Be patient"

Felipe Massa warned Charles Leclerc not to criticise Ferrari in public and instead focus on helping the team to get back on track.

The Monegasque was clearly frustrated after finishing sixth in Budapest last weekend. He felt he was never given the chance to compete for the podium after Ferrari made the call to put him onto hard tyres mid-race, which he struggled to bring up to temperature in the cool conditions.

Afterwards, he told Sky Sports that he could not understand why that call had been made. "For some reason, I don't know why, we went on the hards," he said. "I said on the radio I was very comfortable with the medium and that I wanted to go as long as possible with those tyres because the feeling was good – I don't know why we took a different decision."
