Just two weeks after his emotional victory for Ferrari at the Monaco Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc faced disappointment at the Canadian Grand Prix as both he and teammate Carlos Sainz failed to finish the race. Leclerc attributed his retirement to a power unit issue that hindered his race despite starting from 11th on the grid, emphasizing it was the team's first failure to reach Q3 since 2021.
Leclerc expressed frustration over the engine issue, stating that it had a significant impact on their performance throughout the race. He highlighted the team's attempt to switch to slick tires as a gamble due to the engine problems, acknowledging that they were losing time straight away due to the issue.
Despite the setback, Leclerc emphasized the need to avoid over-reactions, though he admitted the disappointment of losing valuable points for the team. He stressed the importance of addressing the engine issues and understanding what went wrong, particularly after narrowly missing out on Q3 in qualifying.
