Charles Leclerc experienced an embarrassing moment in his hometown of Monaco. The Ferrari driver, who only last week managed to win at the Italian Grand Prix, drove his very expensive Ferrari Purosangue into the back of another car around one of the most famous corners in the F1 calendar.

Things went wrong for Leclerc at the hairpin in Monte Carlo. The Monegasque drove into the back of a stationary car. Fortunately, the damage was not extensive, and he was able to continue driving his Ferrari.
