What Charles Leclerc said on Ferrari team radio during the mysterious Hungarian GP problem. During the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc faced a mysterious and frustrating problem.

Charles Leclerc experienced a frustrating Hungarian Grand Prix due to a mysterious problem. The Monégasque driver, who started from pole position, crossed the finish line in fourth place.

Let’s review together all the radio communications that took place during the race between Leclerc and his race engineer Bryan Bozzi.

Charles Leclerc’s agony
In the early stages of the race, Leclerc complained about some engine cuts, moments when the engine temporarily lost power or “went silent.”

Once that warning subsided, which ultimately did not affect the final result, Charles said: “I’m feeling exactly what we talked about before the race. We need to discuss these things before doing them.”

He then continued: “We will lose this race because of this, we are losing a lot of time.”

Finally, after the second pit stop and having lost any kind of performance, he vented: “This is incredibly frustrating. We’ve lost all competitiveness. You need to listen to me, I would have found another way to manage these problems. Now the car is undrivable, undrivable. Getting on the podium would be a miracle.”

In the end, the miracle did not happen for Charles Leclerc, who finished the Hungarian Grand Prix in fourth place, behind the two McLaren cars of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and the Mercedes of George Russell.

However, the mystery remains around the number 16 SF-25 Ferrari and the elusive problem that plagued the Monégasque driver during the race.

There are several theories regarding the issue: chassis damage, different tire pressures, or severe plank wear; without excluding the possibility that these problems were interconnected. One thing is certain: considering the situation, Leclerc was more than justified in using the adjective “frustrating.”
