Charles Leclerc admitted that using the hard tyre in the Hungarian Grand Prix was a "turning point" in the race and that he doesn't understand why Ferrari put him on it. After only 17 laps on his medium compound, the Monegasque pitted from the lead at the end of lap 39, with Ferrari hoping to get him to the end of lap 70 on Pirelli's hardest tyre, despite seeing how the Alpine duo of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso were struggling on that compound.
The decision went against Leclerc's wishes, as he wanted to extend his middle stint on mediums before switching to softs for the final stint.
