Will Charles Leclerc's crash impact Hungarian GP weekend?

According to Sky Sports F1's David Croft, the No. 16 car will require a new front wing, a gearbox change and repairs to the left side of the floor.

Leclerc's dramatic spin adds to a difficult series of race weekends for the Ferrari star, finishing outside of the points in the past two races.

However, the Scuderia have returned to the front of the pack so far in Hungary with Carlos Sainz topping the timesheets in FP1, beating Max Verstappen.
