P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The incident occurred early in Free Practice 2 ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Ferrari was fined €5,000 by the Canadian Grand Prix stewards for breaking the rules during Free Practice 2, as they put intermediate tires on Charles Leclerc’s car when it wasn’t declared wet track conditions. This violated Article 30.5.L of the Sporting Regulations. Only after Leclerc took to the track did Ferrari realize the mistake, but it was already too late. Despite the incident, Leclerc finished fourth in FP2, while his teammate Sainz came in 13th, although lap times were affected by the mixed track conditions. The team’s eagerness to get Leclerc out on track swiftly backfired, resulting in the penalty.
