(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 8 - Charles Leclerc said he had done his best in climbing from 19th at the start to 3rd place at the finish behind Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz in third and they had been hoping to win the constructors' title but McLaren's Lando Norris, who led from the start to win the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Priz and give the British team their first title since 1998, had been too strong for them.
