Overview
- Leclerc lost control at the Parabolica in Monza and suffered a very high‑G impact that destroyed his SF‑26 and ended his race.
- He walked away from the crash but reported being winded, a brief eyesight disturbance and neck tightness that led to further checks and treatment.
- Team doctors completed additional examinations and Leclerc has been declared fit to compete in Madrid, though he will be monitored for any lingering effects.
- Ferrari suspects the upgraded power unit took damage in the impact and has fitted an older‑spec engine for Leclerc in Madrid, which may reduce his straight‑line power.
- Leclerc accepted responsibility for a separate Lap‑1 clash with team‑mate Lewis Hamilton and held direct talks with Hamilton and Ferrari leadership to resolve tensions.
