An unhappy Charles Leclerc blamed himself after the Ferrari Formula One driver's second crash in two days brought an early end to qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday.
The mistake also left rivals cursing, with Red Bull's championship leader Max Verstappen ending up ninth on the starting grid for Sunday's race after being unable to get in a flying lap.
"You can always find excuses in those situations -- the wind was really strong, it was really tricky, the setup of the car was really tricky also," added the Monegasque, who started last weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix on pole.
