Leclerc Makes Podium in Melbourne: Arthur Leclerc That Is!
It was a depressing day for Ferrari at the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix with both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz entirely out of the points. Charles’ race ended as early as lap 1 when Lance Stroll’s McLaren made contact and that was that with him off the track unable to continue. Sainz might have been in the points being seventh past the checkered flag but no such luck as he garnered a five second penalty for hitting Fernando Alonzo’s Aston Martin, thus relegating him to 12th place which also earns zero points.
There was however a glimmer of light for the Leclerc family because Charles’ younger brother Arthur was more successful in his hunt… but in his case it was in the races in Formula 2.

Carnage at the Australian Grand Prix. Leclerc also a victim & knocked out of the race!
Could it get any more unlucky for the winner of the Australian Grand Prix in 2022. There would be no back to back win for Charles Leclerc to celebrate in 2023.
Worse Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was the very first retirement from this Australian Grand Prix, after being nudged off the track by Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin.
On Turn 1 Charles took it easy not taking any risk. It was Turn 3 where Leclerc confirmed later that he really wasn’t planning to overtake but Lance Stroll had had to brake quite early because Fernando Alonso had also to brake because of the cars in front. So Charles saw there was a gap on the outside and went for it. Unluckily for Leclerc, Alonzo had to brake even harder and Lance Stroll found himself between Fernano Alonzo and Leclerc and couldn’t avoid making contact.
