Leclerc brings out first red flag of race weekend
Just after 15 minutes had gone in the second session, the first red flag of the weekend came out, and it was for Charles Leclerc.
After a solid start for the Prancing Horse in FP1, it disappointingly ended Leclerc's Friday. Coming into the fast lefthander up the hill entering sector two, the Monegasque driver got his wheels on the kerb and spun his Ferrari, hitting the barriers with a hefty impact and damaging a newly modified floor upgrade that improved the performance of the car.
