Updated: 23:07, 13 Jun 2025

A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.

Following his Canadian Grand Prix FP1 crash, Ferrari has confirmed that Charles Leclerc will not be able to run in the upcoming practice session.

In the early ongoings of the first practice session around the Isle du Notre-Dame track, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Leclerc crashed his Ferrari car heavily into the outer wall at Turn 3, destroying the left side of his car.

Leclerc out for FP2 in Canada

Speaking to various media team principal Frederic Vasseur had already stated as much, but now Ferrari has confirmed the ill news.

"Due to the damage to his car sustained in the crash in FP1, Charles Leclerc will not take part in FP2, as the survival cell on his SF-25 needs to be replaced. As per the regulations, Charles will be able to drive in FP3."

So, the driver will only have, effectively, one practice session before Qualifying takes place. A tough picture to look at for the Monegasque particularly with how close everything currently is in F1.
