In a twist no one saw coming, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc has been summoned by the FIA stewards following an unusual incident during the Canadian Grand Prix’s Friday practice session.
The practice session at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal was marked by unpredictable weather conditions, which left the track in a greasy state. This weather unpredictability often blurs the line between using intermediate tyres and dry tyres.
Leclerc, eager to make the most of the session, ventured onto the track with intermediate tyres. However, the point of contention lies in the timing of this decision. Ferrari allegedly sent him out before the track was officially declared wet, which is a necessary condition to use intermediate tyres under FIA regulations.
This unusual scenario prompted the stewards to call Leclerc for a discussion after the session, a rare occurrence in the realm of Formula 1 regulations.
As it stands, more details are expected to emerge regarding this incident. The FIA’s decision could have implications for Leclerc and Ferrari, depending on their findings.
Stay tuned as the situation develops. Charles Leclerc’s encounter with the stewards adds another layer of intrigue to an already eventful Canadian Grand Prix weekend.
