Charles Leclerc has been involved in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend in 2025, where he retired from the race after an early incident that damaged his Ferrari. Additionally, he and Ferrari have been dealing with a separate ongoing issue related to straight-line speed, which Ferrari indicated they could not yet resolve. Key points from the latest coverage:
