Leclerc 'feeling sorry for the whole team' after ‘very stupid’ crash

Charles Leclerc expressed profound regret following a "very stupid" crash during the Canadian Grand Prix's first practice session, which severely limited his track time. The Ferrari driver locked up into Turn 3, sliding into the barriers and damaging his SF-25's survival cell. This incident forced him out of the subsequent FP2 session, leaving him with a mere nine laps for the day. Leclerc apologized to his team, admitting his misjudgment cost them valuable running. Despite the setback, he remains confident, stating the crash won't hurt his performance for qualifying. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton had a mixed day, finishing P5 in FP1 and P8 in FP2. He noted the car felt different from previous years and that performance dropped off after setup changes. Hamilton anticipates a challenging qualifying, aiming for a top-five finish, though acknowledging it will be tough to even reach Q3.
