Leclerc's crash rules him out of Canadian GP FP2

Charles Leclerc's crash in first practice at Montreal was so severe that the Ferrari driver will miss the second session of the 2025 Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The Monegasque driver walked away from his shunt in FP1, where he locked up into Turn 3 then ran wide onto the grass, hitting both sides of his Ferrari and leaving it up against the Turn 4 barrier.

The damage means he won't take part in the second session.

In the team boss press conference post-FP1, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur said: "Think we damaged the chassis and won’t be able to [do] FP2.

"We need to do some checks but I think it’s over today for Charles."

Prior to FP2, Ferrari confirmed Leclerc wouldn't be back in action until FP3, having damaged the chassis.

As per the regulations, any change of chassis on Friday rules you out of the rest of the day's action until FP3 on Saturday.

Leclerc managed just four timed laps in FP1 and he ended up 10th on the timesheets, seven-tenths off Max Verstappen's leading pace in the Red Bull.

Team-mate Lewis Hamilton was fifth fastest in FP1 and just over four tenths off Verstappen.
