Leclerc confident Spanish PU failure ‘won’t happen again’

Out of the Spanish Grand Prix when his engine failed, Charles Leclerc is “confident” that was a one-off glitch in Ferrari’s otherwise near perfect reliability record.

While his title rival Max Verstappen has spent the bulk of this season’s championship fighting both Leclerc and his own Red Bull RB18, Leclerc’s Ferrari has seemed near on bulletproof.

At least it did until Spain.

Leading the grand prix by a comfortable margin over George Russell and Verstappen, Leclerc’s Sunday imploded when he lost power and was forced to retire the car.

The Ferrari driver was gutted, his first DNF of the season also costing him the lead in the Drivers’ Championship.

The upside for Leclerc and Ferrari is there is a quick turnaround between Spain and Monaco with the driver confident Ferrari have fixed the PU problem.
