Charles Leclerc, relief in Ferrari: the consequences on the grid after the accident

His accident created inevitable apprehensions, averted after the team’s work.

Charles Leclerc finished no higher than seventh in qualifying for the Miami Grand Prix, which ended a few seconds early after the incident that saw him send his Ferrari into the barriers. The contact occurred with the rear end, which created the doubt that further penalties could also arrive to be served on the grid. Well, that risk was averted.

If in fact Leclerc has already faced the first free practice in Miami with a new MGU-K and a new gearbox, the parts of his Ferrari replaced after the bang in qualifying do not mean trouble on the starting position in the Grand Prix. In fact, the team has further replaced the gearbox, the third for him. However, the limit is set at four, thus not causing a relegation for the Monegasque.

Ferrari has also decided to replace the bottom of his car and also the rear wing that was damaged. However, these operations are also allowed without consequences, with Leclerc being able to regularly face the Miami Grand Prix by placing himself in the seventh box of the grid.
