Charles Leclerc's crash in first practice at Montreal was so severe that the Ferrari driver is likely to miss the second session of the 2025 Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The Monegasque driver walked away from his shunt in FP1, where he locked up into Turn 3 then ran wide onto the grass, hitting both sides of his Ferrari and leaving it up against the Turn 4 barrier.
🚩 Red flag!

The damage means he's likely not to take part in the second session, according to team boss Fred Vasseur.
Vasseur said: "Think we damaged the chassis and won’t be able to [do] FP2.
"We need to do some checks but I think it’s over today for Charles."
Leclerc managed just four timed laps in FP1 and he ended up 10th on the timesheets, seven-tenths off Max Verstappen's leading pace in the Red Bull.
Team-mate Lewis Hamilton was fifth fastest in FP1 and just over four tenths off Verstappen.
