History is an eternal restart for Charles Leclerc.
Despite his victory in Austria two weeks ago, the Monegasque has had a string of disappointing GPs since the start of the season.
And on the Grand Prix de France this Sunday, he was once again forced to retire.
Starting from pole position, and while he was quietly leading the race, the Ferrari driver was the victim of a track excursion.
He hit the tire wall.

Visibly frustrated and annoyed, Charles Leclerc accused on the radio the accelerator pedal, with which he had already had problems during the Austrian GP, ​​of having caused this exit.
He then let out a cry of rage.
A real blow for the Monegasque, who is further away from the title, especially if Max Verstappen wins on the Paul-Ricard circuit.
With this new retirement, Charles Leclerc is still a little further from the title of world champion, despite performances on the high-end track in qualifying unfortunately too little followed the next day in the race.
The reliability of his Ferrari, several times victims of mechanical problems, is widely singled out.
