Formula 1 punishes Ferrari driver Leclerc
The traditional Italian racing team had to accept a severe penalty in the second race of the 2023 season. The reason: the car.
Charles Leclerc has to drop at least ten places on the starting grid for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
According to the Formula 1 website, his racing team Ferrari confirmed the change in the control electronics on Wednesday, which had caused his failure at the start in Bahrain. This had only been replaced before the first race.
But since only two are allowed per season, Leclerc, with his third control electronics in the car, has to accept the starting place penalty for the race this Sunday in Jeddah (from 6 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
