Charles Leclerc suffered the embarrassing fate of crashing his Ferrari into the barriers on the formation lap of Brazilian Grand Prix. Leclerc was well-positioned to challenge Max Verstappen for the win in Brazil after a sensational qualifying lap on Friday.
The Ferrari driver needed a good start and would have fancied his chances with the inside line into the first corner. But disaster struck on the formation lap as Leclerc crashed into the barriers in a bizarre incident.
The 26-year-old looked devastated in the cockpit as cameras focused on his helmet. Leclerc then vented his anger on team radio, claiming the crash was caused by a failure on his car.
He bemonaed: “Noooo, I lost the hydraulics, I lost the hydraulics! Why the f*** am I so unlucky?”
