FIA announce Charles Leclerc disqualification verdict ahead of Canadian Grand Prix

The FIA have announced the outcome of a series of tests ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix for Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc – one of which could have seen the Monegasque driver disqualified.

At the end of every race a random driver is selected from the top 10 to undergo a series of rigorous tests to check their car is in compliance with the technical regulations, with Leclerc selected after the Spanish GP.

Ferrari would have been glad to avoid disqualification after the team’s double disqualification earlier this year at the Chinese Grand Prix.

The 27-year-old has achieved three podium finishes in 2025 and alongside Hamilton has helped Ferrari rocket up to second in the constructors’ championship ahead of Mercedes and Red Bull.
