MUST-SEE: Leclerc walks away from heavy FP2 crash in Mexico City
Share
Charles Leclerc hit the barriers hard and hopped out of his Ferrari F1-75 just over 30 minutes into FP2, causing the third red flag of Friday.
Leclerc was running seventh in FP2 as he entered Turn 7 and spun, which caused the rear of his Ferrari to hit the barriers at Turn 8 and brought out a red flag that left under 40 minutes of the lengthened session to play.
The crash caused visible damage to Leclerc's rear wing and his left-rear tyre was jutting out at an unruly angle, while the innards of the Tecpro barriers were also clear for all to see.
