F1, Ferrari: lucky Leclerc will start from pole, the gearbox is in place

by admin

After further checks, the Maranello house decided to keep the gear Leclerc crashed with yesterday. The Monegasque will start from the first box, but a slightly stronger impact was enough to ruin everything …

After doing a crazy lap, at the end of qualifying Leclerc made a mistake and crashed into the barriers. The red driver took pole position, immediately questioned by a possible replacement of the gearbox that would have forced him to start from the sixth box (here are the reasons why the transmission is changed in the event of an accident). This morning comes the definitive decision of the Ferrari team: the qualifying gearbox will be used on Charles’s SF21 and will therefore start in front of everyone in Monte Carlo.

Difficult decision

More careful checks were carried out this morning, even if the FIA ​​in this regard allows very limited checks to the mechanics for certain types of operations. So the gearbox was checked very carefully but within certain limits of the regulation. In any case, the Maranello technicians gave us a lot of thought as, from the analysis of the accident, a slightly harder impact would have been enough to make it necessary to replace the unit. Leclerc was “lucky” and now he must regain concentration for the race that will start at 3 pm: starting from the front row is essential in Monte Carlo, where overtaking is very difficult and risky.
