Leclerc to undergo additional medical checks after Monza crash

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc said he will undergo several additional medical examinations before the Spanish Grand Prix to ensure he is fit to race after crashing at the Italian Grand Prix. The Monegasque lost control of his SF-26 at the Parabolica on lap two, hitting the wall and prompting a red-flag stoppage. He was taken to the circuit medical centre and released without any injuries being detected.

"The neck was OK, it was just the vision a little bit at first. The right eye was not showing me great vision, but now it's all good," Leclerc said, adding that he felt only minor aches typical after a crash. He said further checks are planned for the evening and the following day, emphasizing a cautious approach. Leclerc suggested a possible “difference in power delivery” may have contributed to the loss of control but said he will review the data before drawing conclusions. He expressed disappointment with the incident but remained optimistic about returning to competition in Madrid.
