Colliding with the barriers at Imola while pursuing down runner up, Charles Leclerc expresses until that lap he was OK agreeing to third.
And afterward his "attitude changed".
Leclerc was on course for a platform at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the title chief running behind the quicker Red Bulls at the first of Ferrari's two home races.
It looked settled, the Monégasque set to lose focuses to Max Verstappen yet just seven which implied he would leave Italy with his lead in the title battle even in excess of 30 places.
And afterward he got ravenous.
Leclerc concedes his mentality "changed" that lap, the one that saw him drive excessively hard and be too forceful off the kerbs at the Variante Alta chicane.
Pitched out of control, he went ease first into the obstruction.
Making sense of his accident, he said: "I think on that specific lap I saw an open door.
"All through the race I had been extremely legitimate with myself and I thought Red Bull was excessively speedy for us. Third spot was the spot we merited during that time since we simply weren't quite so speedy as Red Bull.
"Yet, on that specific lap my outlook changed and I saw the amazing chance to go for second, and I faced more challenge than I ought to have done rather than simply bringing the third spot back home.
"Once more, glancing back at it, it is consistently this equilibrium that you really want find as a driver and how much gamble you will take and how much prize giving you is going.
"Requiring the second spot that day was something not expected and it would have been perfect, however it didn't work out and I lost a couple of focuses. It's something I will keep on contemplating and perhaps change the methodology in those circumstances."
The 24-year-old, who up until this season had just won two grands prix, has multiplied his general count to four this season and holds an important lead in the Drivers' Championship race.
He said: "It feels much better, most importantly, particularly after the most recent couple of years that have been undeniably challenging for the entire group.
"We have been battling a ton with execution, and to be battling for 6th, eighth and tenth spot, regardless of whether you are doing the ideal work, it is hard for a group like Ferrari and for myself's purposes, so to be once again at the top feels astonishing.
"Whether it feels any unique to what I encountered prior to getting to Formula One, not actually. Obviously you have a touch more strain and assumptions, yet that doesn't change much for me. The methodology is equivalent to I had back previously."
