With ten laps to go before the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix ended, Charles Leclerc suffered a costly incident that would result in him finishing in sixth place when he had the opportunity to fight for second place with Sergio Pérez.
With just six tenths of a disadvantage compared to the Mexican driver, Leclerc decided to go all out in search of second place, but his nerves betrayed him and he ended up spinning, damaging the left 'endplate', forcing him to go to the pits and drop to ninth place.
This action was greatly regretted by the fans who filled the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, who saw how the home driver, the Ferrari driver, was left out of the podium fight.
In a video that went viral in the last few hours, it was witnessed how the fans were amazed by the incident, especially because they had built their hopes of seeing Leclerc win again.

"It's a great shame," explained the Monegasque at the end of the race. "The spin shouldn't have happened today. Third was the best I could do, we didn't have the pace for much more, I was too greedy, I paid the price and lost seven potential points compared to my third place that I was in before."
