Leclerc facing double investigation after F1 Styrian GP qualifying

Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc is facing a dou🌳ble investigation following qualifying for the Styrian Grand Prix.

The stewards are investigating Leclerc for impeding ano🐬ther car as well as failing to abort a timed-lap durin🐎g a red-flag period.

Leclerc struggled during the wet qualifying session and was knocked out at the end of Q2 as Ferrari’s dismal start to the 2020 season 💎continued. As a r🍸esult, he will start a provisional 11th on the grid.

But Leclerc co⛦uld yet be penalised with a grid drop after the FIA confirmed he had been summoned for two separate offences.

The Moneqasque, who claimed an unli🍸kely second-place finish last time out ♎in the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix, appeared to hold up AlphaTauri’s Daniil Kvyat during Q2.

He also failed to return to the pits immediately 🤡after a red f🍷lag was shown when Antonio Giovinazzi stopped on track in his Alfa Romeo right at the end of Q1.

“The main problem today was that ﷽we were jꦕust not quick enough,” Leclerc conceded after being dumped out of Q2.

"There was just not much we could do. We were 1.8 off. However we look at it, we are just too slow at theꦐ moment. We just need to work.''

Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen has also been summoned for failing to abort a lap during the red flag peri꧃od.

Meanwhileꦑ, Racing Point driver Sergio Perez is under investigation for failing to s꧙low for yellow flags at Turn 3 in Q1.

Leclerc will see the stewards at 1800 local time (1700 BST) on S🦹aturday evening following the conclusion of qualifying.
