Charles Leclerc has triggered a red flag just 15 minutes into first
practice ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, following a
bizarre crash at Turn 4. The Ferrari driver suffered a lock-up on
the entry to Turn 3 which saw him skip across the grass on the
inside of the chicane; however, he clipped the wall which destroyed
his left-front. As a result, his car spun and went rearwards into
the wall on the exit of Turn 4, marking a disastrous start to his
weekend at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Leclerc immediately
accepted responsibility for the crash on the Ferrari radio, and
said: "**** sorry, I'm in the wall. Yeah my bad. I should've gone
straight. I thought I will just make it but I clipped the wall."
For Ferrari, it leaves the Maranello-based outfit already with a
major repair job to undergo before second practice. As for
Leclerc, the Monegasque has lost crucial track time on a weekend
which, again, features the fascinating C6 compound.
