Charles Leclerc was forced to drive to Zandvoort for this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix after an ear infection prevented him from flying.
After contracting an ear infection, Leclerc had to change his plans and get to Zandvoort by road - a 14-hour journey by car from his home in Monaco.The infection won’t impact Leclerc’s participation at this weekend’s race, according to F1 presenter Will Buxton.
“I asked him about it and said is it going to affect his balance or anything and he said: ‘No, I’m totally cool, I’ll be good to drive all fine. But couldn’t fly, had to drive.”
