Charles Leclerc received a 10-place grid penalty because Ferrari changed his engine ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.

We are still working extremely hard as a team and we just want to get back to winning as quickly as possible." He had early retirements in Spain and Baku and has failed to convert on four consecutive starts from the pole headed into Sunday's race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

'Not the best situation': Star to cop massive penalty as luckless run continues.

He said on Friday the team were discussing their options for this weekend’s race, adding that Montreal was “not a bad place to take a penalty” because overtaking is relatively easy. The 24-year-old Monegasque has suffered two engine failures this year and the new parts will mean he exceeds the limit and will face a penalty of at least 10 places. Charles Leclerc’s hopes of victory at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix were dented on Friday when it was confirmed he will face a substantial grid penalty for Sunday’s race.

Stephen also pens the weekly “4 Burning Questions” column and contributes to “Friday Faceoff” and “2-Headed Monster.” A Texas native, Stephen started following NASCAR at age 9. After three races, Leclerc was up to more than a full-race lead over the rest of the competition. It will be a long climb back to the championship lead, and it will begin from the middle of the pack in Montreal on Sunday. The failure at Azerbaijan was considered terminal, thus requiring the replacement.

Après un début de saison prometteur, l'écurie italienne enchaîne les couacs que la pénalité de Charles Leclerc ne va pas arranger.

Si ce n’est à Montréal, ce sera pour une des prochaines courses européennes, causant une nouvelle pénalité. Après Bakou, le patron de la Scuderia Mattia Binotto ne voulait cependant pas dramatiser : « Nous n’avons pas été euphoriques au début de la saison, alors nous n’allons pas être abattus maintenant. Pour Leclerc, la sanction pourrait encore s’alourdir si le turbo de sa monoplace devait être changé à son tour (ce serait alors le quatrième, un de trop) et il le sera tôt ou tard. Trop de changements à vrai dire : l’électronique de contrôle du moteur, changé une troisième fois déjà depuis le début de saison, contre deux pièces autorisées pour toute l’année, met Ferrari en infraction.

Charles Leclerc will start from the back of the grid in Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix after electing to take new power unit components.

So in this, we find a confidence," he told Motorsport.com. While Leclerc has been disappointed with the recent slump in form, he says that the promising pace of the car, which has been fastest overall recently over a single lap, gives him encouragement for the future. In Spain, the issue meant that he lost a turbo and MGU-H, while the failure in Baku ensured that the power unit was beyond repair.

Leclerc starting at the back of the grid means Canada is a race of damage limitations for Ferrari.

As it was, he was able to safely get his Red Bull back to the garage. Meanwhile, the wet conditions in Saturday’s free practice are not expected to be replicated during Sunday’s race. But the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at least offers Leclerc a chance here. Leclerc’s recent results have slumped after an impressive start to the season where he won two of the first three grands prix. “It is the fourth of the season (only three are permitted), therefore Charles takes a further grid penalty.” He was already facing a 10-place grid penalty after an engine component change in the week.

Charles Leclerc Will Start Last In the Canadian GP (RoadandTrack.com)

Leclerc's blown engine from last weekend has been replaced with a fully-new powertrain, which puts him in the grid penalty range early.

They will still need more refreshes over the remainder of the season, so Leclerc could be taking many, many more grid penalties before the season ends at Yas Marina in November. Since Leclerc has already taken on enough components to begin dipping into penalties in June and Ferrari's reliability problems still do not seem to be solved, he will be in the penalty range on these parts for the rest of the year. Now, those Sunday misfortunes have bled into a Saturday: Ferrari have decided to replace every major component of Leclerc's hybrid powertrain this weekend, guaranteeing him enough grid penalties to lead him to start last in tomorrow's race regardless of where he qualifies.
