Why Charles Leclerc failed to outbrake Max Verstappen in Turn 1 at Singapore GP

During the Singapore Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc launched well from the start but was unable to overtake Max Verstappen. Despite being nearly level with Verstappen, Leclerc found himself pushed towards the inside, causing him to brake earlier and allowing Verstappen to maintain his lead. Leclerc noted the difficulty in judging the braking point due to his position on the track.

Max Verstappen acknowledged his poor start was due to a technical issue but managed to secure victory by seven seconds. Leclerc's second-place finish marked a strong performance, although he felt that Verstappen's team had superior pace throughout the race.
