Ferrari F1 star suffers NIGHTMARE Canadian Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc retired from the Canadian Grand Prix on lap 43 with an engine issue to compound what was a miserable race for the Ferrari driver.

The Monegasque first reported a problem on lap five, and was later told he was losing half a second on the straights.

It appeared that the issue was resolved after with a pit stop later in the race, but after running out of the points for a number of laps Leclerc pulled back into the pit lane to retire the car.
