Charles Leclerc might have counted (or at least hoped) for a place on the front row of the grid, but by his own admission the Ferrari driver will have to start from seventh on Sunday. The Monegasque lost control of his SF23 and landed hard into the wall.

Incidentally, it is not certain that Leclerc will actually start from P7 in the race. If a lot of repairs are needed or parts need to be replaced for which there is not an identical spare part, a start from the pit lane will follow (as the parc-fermé rules will then be broken).
