ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur welcomed Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli coming to him to apologize for a crash which sent Ferrari's Charles Leclerc spinning into the wall at Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix.

Leclerc came out from a pit stop ahead of Antonelli, who tried to pass Leclerc on the inside of a tight banked corner but clipped his rear wheel and sent the Ferrari into the barrier.

Leclerc had been in contention for a podium place earlier but instead watched the end of the race from a sand dune trackside.

“He came to apologize to Charles. Charles was not there, but he came to me. And honestly I appreciate this,” Vasseur said.

“It’s not so easy to overtake in Zandvoort. It means that you have to take a risk. He took a risk. He made a mistake.”
