these days it is holding the Grand Prix Monaco Historic, an event that sees the historic Formula 1 cars speed along the winding streets of the Principality. Charles Leclerc he became the star of the event when he put on the red overalls to drive the Ferrari 312 B3 di Lauda, but the epilogue was not the best.

The crime
on the occasion of the event, the Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, born right in Monaco, had the opportunity to shoot with the Ferrari 312 B3 led in 1974 by Niki Lauda. Once again though, bad luck hit the Monegasque driver right on the streets of home: Charles, while setting the streets of the principality ablaze with a drive that was anything but calm, he lost his rear of the car when braking Scratch – the penultimate corner before the finish straight – hitting the barriers with the rear end; luckily the pilot went well, Charles in fact he came out unscathed, which is not obvious if you consider the safety measures of the 70s single-seaters.
The cause of the damage
If at first glance the triggering cause seemed to be pilot error, what gave rise to the crash was a mechanical problem. Charles was a passenger, and could do nothing when on approach to the Rascasse the braking system decided to abandon it, causing an inevitable 'long' which as well known, Monaco does not forgive.
Salty account
In the collision therear wing it was the most damaged part, from the images transmitted in fact, the wing deformed quite a bit while remaining attached to the car. Other parts in the rear were damaged albeit less severely; Charles, despite the impact, he managed to bring the car back to the finish line near the gazebos that act as boxes for the participating cars. The car will go back to the workshop for repairs, and unfortunately for the owner, replacement of damaged parts will not be cheap.
