Furious Charles Leclerc hits out at Ferrari after Monaco howler: 'We cannot do that'

• Charles Leclerc went from first to fourth in the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, losing a near-certain victory.

• Leclerc's Ferrari team failed to get the race strategy right and lost further championship ground to Red Bull Racing.

• Leclerc told the team that mishaps like this cannot happen going forward.

Ferrari threw away victory at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix after failing to capitalise on their strong track position.

The team had it all to lose as its drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, held the two top positions going into the first round of pit stops, but they failed to make the most of the opportunities presented to them and lost the race's lead through a series of bad choices.

For Leclerc, the race went from good to bad in minutes when the team failed to get his race strategy right, pitting him alongside his team-mate Sainz and sending him back out into fourth spot. 

After the race, Leclerc made his displeasure known and told the team that these things cannot happen again.

After the race, he said on the team radio: "No words. We cannot do that."

Leclerc eventually finished the race in fourth place, but lost further points to championship leader Max Verstappen who extended his lead over Leclerc to 11 points.
