Are Leclerc's crashes becoming a problem for Ferrari? - F1 Q&A

Charles Leclerc’s crashes are under scrutiny after another race-ending incident at Monza, raising questions about whether the pattern is becoming a problem for both him and Ferrari. On Sunday, Leclerc was forced into the gravel after an aggressive first-lap sequence with Lewis Hamilton at the first chicane, then crashed a lap later. He was passed by Max Verstappen by then, and Leclerc said his Parabolica accident may have involved a power-delivery difference between lap one and lap two, though he referenced checking data rather than blaming a specific cause. The review notes Leclerc retired twice this year, with earlier incidents spaced out since 2023. Separately, Hamilton criticized Ferrari’s approach to driver equality after losing points to Antonelli.
