'Why the f*ck am I so unlucky!''
Charles Leclerc was left asking why he is “so unlucky” after a hydraulics failure sent him into the barriers on the Brazilian Grand Prix formation lap.
Leclerc would have been harbouring podium hopes going into the race, but as it turned out, he would not even get the chance to take the race start. As Leclerc made his way around the Interlagos circuit, ahead of slotting into the P2 grid slot, instead the Ferrari driver found himself spinning into the tyre barriers at Turn 7.Initially unclear what had caused the shunt, a disconsolate Leclerc soon came over the radio to reveal that he had lost the hydraulics.
“Noooooo……I lost the hydraulics. Why the f*ck am I so unlucky. Why the f*ck am I so unlucky!” Leclerc vented. While the marshals quickly cleared that stricken Ferrari, allowing the race to start as planned, the Safety Car was out on lap 1 and then the red flags, Kevin Magnussen and Alex Albon colliding at Turn 1, eliminating both drivers and leaving Oscar Piastri with a broken rear wing, Daniel Ricciardo also suffering damage to his AlphaTauri.
