The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is going dramatically for Ferrari. After Carlos Sainz's retirement on the opening lap of the race, now Charles Leclerc has also spun in the final laps of the race.
Leclerc was right behind the Red Bull of Sergio Perez, but on lap 54 the Monegasque spun. Leclerc is lucky because he can still drive away. However, the Ferrari driver has to come in because of damage to his car.
Drama at Ferrari
Currently, Leclerc is driving in eighth place. His mistake will cost him many points in the championship because Max Verstappen is currently driving in first place with a large gap towards P2. Lando Norris has a chance for a podium spot due to Leclerc's mistake.
"It's all gone horribly wrong for Ferrari!"
