Charles Leclerc crashed his Ferrari at 233 km/h during the Italian Grand Prix
Summary

Charles Leclerc sustained a heavy crash at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza after losing control of his Ferrari on the second lap. Telemetry data indicates that Leclerc reached a speed of 233 km/h before the rear of his car lost stability during a maneuver to provide space for Oscar Piastri. The data shows two throttle lifts prior to the accident, with the car's rear tires lacking the necessary traction to maintain grip when Leclerc accelerated back to full throttle. Following the collision with the track wall, Leclerc reported temporary reduced vision in his right eye and underwent medical evaluation at the circuit. Although he departed the venue early to recover, medical clearance confirmed he is fit to race in the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. Ferrari enters the next event with preparatory data from previous testing conducted at that circuit.
