Charles Leclerc has revealed he is not 100% certain he will race in next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. The Ferrari driver still requires a series of additional medical checks following his heavy crash at Parabolica during the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari SF-26 at high speed through the iconic corner on lap two, slamming hard into the barriers and triggering a red flag. The Monegasque was taken to the circuit's medical centre but was later released after no injuries were detected.
"The neck was OK, it was just the vision a little bit at first. The right eye was not showing me great vision, but now it's all good, so that's the thing I was most worried about when getting out of the car," said Leclerc. "Then after that, a bit of pain here and there, which is normal after a crash like this, so nothing more."
However, that does not mean the 28-year-old emerged from the accident completely unscathed. He explained that further checks are needed to guarantee his fitness for the Spanish round.
"I think I'll have quite a few additional checks that we still have to do on my side, probably tonight and tomorrow, to make sure that I'll be fully fine for Madrid," he added. "It should be the case, but better be safe than sorry."
When asked about the cause of the crash, Leclerc suggested "a difference in power delivery," but insisted he wanted to review the data before making any uninformed statements. He also admitted his disappointment at the outcome.
"Yeah, it's very frustrating, but it's the way it is now, I cannot change the results. I'll have to look forward and hopefully bounce back in Madrid," the Ferrari racer concluded.
