‘No serious damage’ found on Leclerc’s gearbox, final call on Sunday
Although the early feedback is promising, the Maranello outfit will not make a final decision on whether to replace the gearbox ♌in Leclerc’s car until Sunday morning, just hours before the race.
Leclerc claimed a sh🌃ock pole position ꦚfor the Monaco Grand Prix but suffered a heavy crash exiting the Swimming Pool chicane on his final lap of Q3.

“An initial inspection of the gearbox in⛄ Charles 𒅌Leclerc’s car has not revealed any serious damage,” the team said in a statement on Saturday evening.
“Further chec꧃ks will be carried out tomorrow, to decide if the same gearbox can be used in the race.”
Should Ferrari need to switch the gearbox on Leclerc’s car, he would be hit with an a𒁃utomatic five-place grid drop that would relegate him to sixth on the grid.
In that scenario, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen would inherit pole position🌜 for Sunday’s race, with Carlos Sainz moving up t🥃o third on the grid in the other Ferrari.
