Overview

• Charles Leclerc retired at Zandvoort after Andrea Kimi Antonelli hit his left‑rear in Turn 3, stranding the Ferrari in the dunes.
• Stewards imposed 10 seconds for causing the collision plus five seconds for pit‑lane speeding, dropping Antonelli from sixth to 16th.
• Officials reviewed Leclerc’s earlier move on George Russell but issued no penalty after failing to prove he left the track, despite Russell reporting heavy floor damage.
• Leclerc criticized Ferrari’s call to pit again to cover an undercut, arguing the second stop was unnecessary and cost him a result.
• Toto Wolff said Mercedes wants the 18‑year‑old to keep his aggression as part of a learning season, while Jacques Villeneuve condemned the move as poorly judged; Ferrari said a photographer lent Leclerc the phone seen on TV.
