Another setback for Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver found himself ninth in the Belgian Grand Prix after just one lap, but during the safety car the current world championship runner-up popped in for fresh rubber.
The reason the 24-year-old driver had to come in was because there was some smoke on the right front. The team informed Leclerc: "It was a crack in the cooling of the right front brake. We have removed it, everything should be fine now."
As a result, Leclerc has to start again from P17 for a catch-up race. Title rival Max Verstappen is in eighth place at the moment.
