Ferrari announced that Charles Leclerc will not be available for media duties before the Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend. However, the team anticipates that Leclerc will be fit to race at Imola for the first of two races in Italy in 2025. Ferrari stated that Leclerc is unwell and will be resting to recover, with plans for him to return to the car the following day. This marks the second consecutive week where a top team driver is absent on a Thursday, as Max Verstappen also skipped the event in Miami. Charles Leclerc recently refuted theories linking Ferrari’s performance decline to mere coincidence.
