Unhappy Sunday for Charles Leclerc at Interlagos. Even on the formation lap, the driver saw his Ferrari suffer hydraulic problems, which caused him to lose control and crash into the barriers at turn six. End of the line, just before the start of the São Paulo Grand Prix of Formula 1.
A disappointing outcome that naturally leaves the Monegasque disappointed, especially because the second place on the grid opened up good prospects. In a statement, he said: ‘It was a disappointing day for me. From second place, we were expecting to bring home a lot of points to climb in the championship fight, but unfortunately we had to retire early. When I reached turn six on the formation lap, I lost my power steering and the steering wheel became stiff, I also locked up the rear tires’.
After the Brazilian round, Leclerc now sets his sights on the remaining two races of the season: ‘Now I am focused on the last two races of the season, we will not give up and we will fight until the end for the best result we can achieve in the constructors’ championship. We will give everything in Las Vegas’.
