FIA announce Charles Leclerc disqualification verdict ahead of Canadian Grand Prix
The FIA recently announced the results of tests conducted before the Canadian Grand Prix, focusing on Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, potentially risking disqualification due to a brake system inspection.
After the Spanish GP, Leclerc was chosen for random tests, as per the post-race protocol for a top 10 finisher, with a specific focus on his rear brake system.
Fortunately, all components were found to comply with technical regulations, sparing Leclerc and Ferrari from any penalties or disqualifications, unlike their earlier double disqualification in the Chinese Grand Prix.
Leclerc’s third-place finish in Spain would have been a costly loss had he been disqualified, but his consistent podium finishes have contributed to Ferrari’s surge to second place in the constructors’ championship alongside Lewis Hamilton.
The 27-year-old driver has proven to be a key asset for Ferrari in 2025, helping secure their position ahead of competitors Mercedes and Red Bull with solid performances throughout the season.
