Leclerc 'Ashamed' After Qualifying Crash at Spanish Grand Prix

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc has expressed deep frustration with himself following a crashing incident during the qualifying session for the Formula 1 Barcelona Grand Prix. The Monegasque driver, known for his blistering one-lap pace, found himself on the wrong side of the barriers, compromising his starting position for the main event.

A Costly Mistake

According to reports from Autosport and Motorsport.com, Leclerc did not mince words regarding his performance, stating that he felt "ashamed" of the error. The crash comes at a critical juncture in the season as Ferrari continues to battle for consistency against the dominant Red Bull machinery.

For the Ferrari garage, the focus now shifts to damage limitation. Leclerc will have to rely on his race craft and the SF-24's long-run pace to climb through the field on Sunday.

Viewing in India

Indian fans can follow the Spanish Grand Prix action live via FanCode. The race is expected to take place on Sunday evening IST, providing a prime-time slot for viewers across the subcontinent to see if Leclerc can redeem his qualifying misfortune with a strong recovery drive.
