Charles Leclerc retires from Italian Grand Prix after accident

Sitting in the grass, prostrate, head in his hands. This is how Charles Leclerc finished his Italian Grand Prix at Monza on the second lap of the race. Attacked by Oscar Piastri while he was in 4th position, the Ferrari driver managed to defend his place before suddenly losing control of his car in the Parabolic and ending up, violently, in the safety tire wall.

Fortunately, the Monegasque quickly got out of his badly dented car, a sign that he was well. Physically and morally, it must undoubtedly be different. Already, at the start, Leclerc had sent Lewis Hamilton into the gravel, without doing it on purpose. Ultimately, the worst was yet to come for this one. It remains to be seen whether or not he suffered a concussion, and if so, whether he will be able to start the Spanish Grand Prix in a week. As for the rest of the peloton, they returned to the pits after the logical decision to wave a red flag.
