US EditionF1 star crashes into wall after losing control of his car on soaking track
- Charles Leclerc crashed his Ferrari into the outside wall on the soaked Miami International Autodrome during the reconnaissance lap before the 2025 Miami Grand Prix sprint race, preventing him from starting the event.
- The crash occurred because Ferrari chose intermediate tyres on a wet track with standing water, which caused Leclerc to aquaplane despite not pushing the car.
- Leclerc had qualified sixth for the sprint race after finding some pace through setup tweaks, while Ferrari overall struggled particularly in slow-speed corners throughout the weekend.
- Leclerc voiced his frustration, noting that while the lap itself felt good, the overall speed remains lacking at the moment, which is somewhat irritating. He also mentioned over team radio that he experienced severe aquaplaning and wasn’t even pushing the car during that moment.
- Leclerc's crash left Ferrari with only Lewis Hamilton starting the sprint race, highlighting ongoing struggles with pace and tyre choices in difficult conditions.
