Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc<\/a> has retired from the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix following contact on lap six of the Interlagos race. After sustaining heavy damage to the front-left corner of the car, the Monegasque was forced to stop.<\/p>\n

This came just moments after Gabriel Bortoleto<\/a> crashed, forcing a safety car, and Leclerc’s team-mate Lewis Hamilton<\/a> pitted after receiving damage when he hit the rear-end of Alpine’s Franco Colapinto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leclerc’s incident began as the field returned to race pace after the Brazilian’s crash. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri<\/a> dived down the inside of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli before the pair made contact. Antonelli swerved to the outside of the circuit, where he hit Leclerc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He left me no space,” Piastri noted to his race engineer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With substantial damage to his suspension, the Ferrari<\/a> ace was forced to come to a stop as a virtual safety car was deployed, resulting in a DNF for the driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ferocious. Leclerc lost a tyre like a Polo mint,” Martin Brundle<\/a> said on the\u00a0Sky Sports F1 coverage.\u00a0“The stewards will be looking hard at Piastri’s contact.”<\/p>\n

Indeed, Piastri has received a 10-second time penalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Norris was nine tenths quicker than Piastri on that first post-VSC lap,” Brundle continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What McLaren<\/a> need to do is get Piastri 10 seconds ahead of Antonelli if he gets a penalty for that Antonelli contact.<\/p>\n

“And it’s working out for Williams<\/a> – Albon and Sainz run ninth and 10th after navigating that early chaos.”<\/p>\n

It’s been a tough weekend for Ferrari with Hamilton struggling throughout the whole weekend and Leclerc not able to translate his impressive qualifying into a podium finish.<\/p>\n
