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.
