Ferrari F1 Engine Issue Blamed for Leclerc's Brazilian GP Formation Lap Crash
Charles Leclerc believes an engine issue caused him to spin off during the formation lap of the Brazilian GP, resulting in a crash. He also experienced a subsequent hydraulic failure that caused him to lose control of the steering wheel. Leclerc stated that the engine problem caused the rear wheels to lock, leading to the spin. His Ferrari teammate, Carlos Sainz, had a different issue in a previous race, and Leclerc believes his problem was unrelated. The race was red-flagged due to a separate incident involving Kevin Magnussen, Alex Albon, and others.
