Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, declared his title bid is over following one of his worst ever performances in F1 at Imola.

The seven-time world champion finished in a lowly 13th and, to add insult to injury, he was also lapped by former foe Verstappen.

Miami Grand Prix: What has been said?

“A weekend to forget for sure,” Hamilton said post-race in Imola. “I’m out the championship for sure, there’s no question about that.

“I’ll still keep working the hardest I can and try and somehow put it back together somehow.”

Leclerc: “Only time will tell [if his crash will impact title race]. For sure, Red Bull seem to be more competitive than the first three races.

“We had the upper hand in Bahrain and Australia, then they had it here and in Jeddah.

“It is very, very close and I think it will be that way for the rest of the season. It’s a big mistake but considering the mistakes, it could’ve been much bigger.”
