BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Charles Leclerc said he was lucky to get away with his second big error in the space of six days during qualifying for the Hungarian GP, something he apologised to Ferrari for and labelled "completely unnecessary".
Leclerc spun out of a promising position at the German Grand Prix last weekend and appeared to have made another costly mistake at the start of Q1, losing the rear of the car at the final corner. The resulting bump into a wall damaged his rear wing but Ferrari was able to fix his car in time for the second qualifying session.
