Italian GP red-flagged after massive Leclerc crash
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc lost control on the exit of the parabolica at the end of the second lap, went straight into the gravel, and then slid sideways into the barriers.
Ferrari experienced a red-flag at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza after just two laps on Sunday. The incident occurred when Charles Leclerc, a two-time winner at Monza, lost control on the parabolica's exit during lap two, striking the barriers. Leclerc exited the car looking winded but uninjured. The race was suspended with Mercedes' George Russell leading, ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Monegasque's Pierre Gasly of Alpine.
Lewis Hamilton, who started fourth, was forced off the track by Leclerc at the first chicane and was running eighth at the time of the suspension. Kimi Antolinli, the championship leader, started from the back of the field due to exceeding the permitted number of power unit changes but had climbed to 12th place when the race was halted. The race will resume once repairs are made to the tyre barrier.
