Poor Chuck - his home circuit really hates him

He crashed in Niki Lauda’s Ferrari during today’s Monaco Historic Grand Prix. A mechanical failure caused a loss of brakes. The oil and cement dust into that corner from a previous accident (there were a lot of them the whole day) didn’t help.
ETA - Reddittor summarised Leclerc’s Monaco record:
- 2017 F2: Retired from both the feature and the sprint race due to suspension failure and electrical issues.
- 2018 F1: Retired due to brake failure.
- 2019 F1: Retired due to tyre puncture after a touch with Hulkenberg.
- 2020 F1: No GP due to COVID.
- 2021 F1: Crashed during qualifying and DNS.
- 2022 Historical GP: Retired due to brake failure.
And 2020 was when he locked his girlfriend out of the apartment while he was streaming - probably counts as the failure for that year. Hopefully today’s crash counts as his bad luck for this year too and he actually gets a result in the GP this year.

Ironically I think he would be one of those in favour of dropping the Monaco GP from the calendar

Round 6: 
2022 Spanish Grand Prix
Circuit de Barcelona-Cataluya • Montmeló • Catalonia
After the brash neon and noise of Miami, it’s a return to a semblance of normality this weekend when F1 (and F2, F3, and W Series) returns to Barcelona for the Spanish GP. The Catalunya circuit, host to the Spanish GP every year since 1991, has already been seen by the drivers this year during the so-called Pre-Season Track Session in February.
Of course, that was under completely different late Winter conditions compared to this weekend’s early Summer weather. And now with cars that have had five race outings already, as opposed to being brand spanking new back in February.
A lot of teams are bringing upgrades to Barcelona this year including Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, and Aston Martin. Higher straight line speeds for the Ferrari and the Mercedes (with a heavily changed side pod and rear floor area) could bring some excellent overtaking into Turn 1 and possibly Turn 10 too now that the hairpin there has been reprofiled to a much faster left-hander.
Qualifying well at Barcelona has always been important in the past because of the difficulty to overtake. With these new era cars seemingly being able to race much closer together however, the racing and overtaking could be very different this year. Even so, only four of the 19 races at this track between 2001 and 2019 have not been won from pole position.
Lewis Hamilton can break more records if he wins this weekend. He’ll become the winningest Spanish GP Driver (currently joint with Michael Schumacher on 6 wins). And having won the previous 5 races, he could also equal Schumacher’s 6 consecutive Spanish GP wins.
After the horrible luck in Australia and at Imola, Carlos Sainz bounced back to a podium finish in Miami. He’s now definitely due a win, and what better place than your home circuit to score a debut Grand Prix win? Make it so!

Only had the chance to watch FP1 highlights now. I get why teams have a mandate to let rookies get some drivetime in the F1 cars. But why is Kubica still driving on test days? He is not a rookie?

Well that’s a bit sucky. Hopefully most of the good bits happen in the first hour and you can catch the last 30 minutes when you get power back. Just stay off MEW and the socials until you’ve seen the end.
