Charles Leclerc does not thrive on the streets in his Monaco home. In the historic race ahead of the F1 Monaco GP, Niki Lauda crashed the Ferrari 312B3 into the famous Rascasse curve on lap three. Leclerc had problems with braking. He spins, gets into the wall and is really disappointed afterwards:

– The brakes dropped, the brakes dropped, he shouted on the radio, which was reported by Autosport..

– I brake, the pedal was hard and then it hit the ground. In retrospect, I should be glad that it happened back then, because if it happened somewhere else, it wouldn’t be good. The problem was that I got scared, and got into the curve the same way I normally do.

He was seriously injured in the rear wing of the historic car driven by Niki Lauda and Clay Rigazzoni. According to German RTL, it is estimated to be worth between 60 and 80 million Swedish kronor.

– When you think you’ve already had all the bad luck in the world in Monaco and the brakes stop at Rascasse on one of the most legendary Ferraris ever to compete in Formula 1, he writes on Twitter.

Difficult warm-up by M.Onako GPI Formula 1

Sunday was a tough Sunday for Leclerc, who is from Monaco, born and raised in Monaco. He wasn’t so lucky yet when he competed in the streets as he was cycling as a kid. Last year he took pole position after crashing into qualifying for the Monaco GP, but the car was so badly damaged that he couldn’t complete the race.

The F1 Monaco GP will be scheduled for May 29, the same date as the Indy 500 race in Indianapolis.

But already next weekend is F1 racing again. Now it’s time for the Spain GP and there is talk of a slew of updates, including for Ferrari. You can read more about it here.

This week, as usual, you’ll receive times, a route guide, and one for the tyres.

GMR Grand Prix – IndyCar

The rain created an eventful and dramatic race in Indianapolis. Colton Herta ended up being the winner, but there were also two very good Swedish efforts.

Marcus Ericsson, who advanced in the heavy qualifier, to fourth.

Felix Rosenqvist, who started sixth, climbed to second already on the first lap. He was behind Herta on lap 43 when the race was replayed after a while with a safety car. He then collided with teammate Pato Oward. Rosenqvist was forced into the bunker with a broken front wing and finally reconnected, one lap behind the lead.

– The Pato incident was very unfortunate. He slammed into curve 1, spinning right in front of me. Unfortunately, I had nowhere to go. My front wing broke and the car died too.

– We lost a lap at that, but the team made a really good decision and kept me off the track due to slicks in the rain without a wing! It helped us get back on the leaderboard as he started drying up.

Rosenqvist dropped to 18th, but took the lead again and 10 laps later. In time for the finish, he finished sixth, the best result of the year. Ericsson is eight, and Rosenqvist is the 14th driver when IndyCar is now fully focused on the Indy 500. The classic will be decided on May 29 with qualifying a week before. The Indy 500 schedule can be found here.

Another victory for Lundqvist

At IndyLights, Linus Lundq1vist scores another victory. Lundqvist hit straight with pole positions for the two races that ran this weekend. Initially, he was involved in a collision with the Danish Christian Rasmussen.

He was forced into a warehouse with a damaged car and fell to the last position, managing to effectively push back towards the lead up to fifth. In the second half he won from first place, but it was a challenge because the competition was paused for more than five hours due to bad weather.

Lundqvist leads the championship after four of 14 races.
