The Charles Leclerc Monaco curse might well continue here 😬 F1 MonacoGP Formula1
Charles Leclerc has been summoned to the FIA stewards for apparent impeding on Lando Norris during Monaco Grand Prix qualifying.
Leclerc had been on a slow lap during Q3 while he wound up for a flying run during qualifying in what was a thrilling session at his home circuit, but McLaren driver Norris approached the Ferrari at a rate of knots in the tunnel and was forced to back out of the throttle. The FIA confirmed the incident would be looked at after the session finished, with Leclerc having qualified third on the day and Norris taking 10th place.
Norris had recovered from damaging his McLaren in Q2, making it back to the pit lane before his mechanics fixed his MCL60 in double quick time to get him back out in time to compete in Q3, with Leclerc almost putting himself on pole for a third year in a row at Monaco. If he is found to have impeded Norris, however, some form of penalty could be heading the Ferrari driver’s way if the meeting with the stewards goes against him, with both Leclerc and Norris summoned to meet with the stewards at 18:00 local time in Monaco [17:00 UK].
