Charles Leclerc's 7 Biggest F1 Crashes

Martin describes an incident where Charles Leclerc dives down the inside, causing Sebastian Vettel to get squeezed and eventually collide with Leclerc. Leclerc was a long way behind and wasn't hit from behind; it was simply a case of "three into one doesn't go." Leclerc's car was launched after getting on the curb, damaging the rear wing and forcing Sergio Perez to take evasive action. Mattia Binotto had expressed concerns about Ferrari's performance before the race, which was proven right by this incident. A replay shows that Leclerc could have backed out sooner to avoid the damage. Despite the rear tires looking inflated, they were likely worn out, which Leclerc had been complaining about. The tires, though ultra-soft, should have lasted longer. The discussion shifts to Leclerc's readiness to move from Sauber to Ferrari, highlighting the increased scrutiny and expectations. An incident later shows Leclerc losing grip and skidding into the barriers, not pushing hard but losing control. Another scene describes Leclerc's brake failure leading to a collision with Brendon Hartley during his first home Grand Prix in Monaco, resulting in significant damage and retirement from the race. This incident sent shockwaves through Formula 1, showcasing Leclerc's potential and the challenges he faces. Further collisions involving Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso are mentioned, with Alonso's rear wing lost and Leclerc unaware of the impending crash. The narrative concludes with sympathy for Leclerc, a young driver facing immense pressure and challenges.
