Charles Leclerc, the Monaco driver, faced technical difficulties with his Ferrari SF-24 car during the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix. Ferrari team boss, Frederic Vasseur, was hoping for a red flag to address the engine issue without Leclerc losing positions on the track. However, the red flag was never waved and Leclerc had to make a pit stop, resulting in almost a lost lap. Despite attempts to restart the car and switch to a different tire compound, Leclerc ended up retiring from the race. Meanwhile, Leclerc’s teammate, Carlos Sainz, also faced challenges including a slow start and a collision with Alex Albon’s Williams. Vasseur did not detail specific reasons for Ferrari’s failure to meet pre-race expectations but expressed disappointment with the team’s performance and hopes they have overcome their bad luck for the rest of the season.
