Charles Leclerc was dealt a major blow before the Brazilian Grand Prix even began. The Ferrari driver was set to start the race from the front row alongside pole sitter Max Verstappen, but during the formation lap at Interlagos, his car bizarrely spun off into the barriers.
Leclerc was left completely devastated, exclaiming over the team radio "Why the f**k am I so unlucky?! Why the f**k am I so unlucky?!"
When speaking to the media afterwards, the 26-year-old went into further detail about what had happened. He revealed "I lost the steering wheel. I went straight because I had no hydraulics anymore. I don’t think it’s a hydraulics problem. I know what it is but I cannot go into too much detail."
Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz had suffered a hydraulics issue ahead of the last race in Mexico City, but the Monegasque driver was quick to point out that what had happened to him was "completely different" to what had happened to Sainz.
It was a truly heartbreaking incident for Charles Leclerc, who will now have to pick himself up and push forward in the upcoming races.
