BREAKING | Race over for Leclerc after his Ferrari fails

The first DNF for Charles Leclerc in 2022 is a fact. He seemed to be driving towards an unthreatened victory, partly due to Max Verstappen's failed DRS, until his F1-75 gave up the ghost. The Monegasque had to go straight to the pits and parked in Ferrari's garage.

This left George Russell surprisingly in the lead, with a severely irritated Verstappen in his wake. The Dutchman has since been in for a second stop, while his teammate Sergio Perez has taken over the lead from Russell.
