VIDEO: Leclerc destroys rear wing in FP3 crash
Originally written by Joas van Wingerden. This version is a translation.
Charles Leclerc went for the extreme low-downforce option in FP3 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, after shedding his rear wing in a crash at Turn 19 at the Yas Marina Circuit. Having got out of shape at the previous corner, Leclerc kept his foot in it, which didn't pay off.
