Charles Leclerc will steer clear of an engine penalty for the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, even after his crash at Monza.

Charles Leclerc successfully sidestepped engine damage during his high-speed collision at Monza, meaning he will not incur a grid penalty for this weekend's Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix.

The Ferrari competitor withdrew on lap two of the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday after losing control of his vehicle through the Parabolic at speeds exceeding 230km/h.

This occurred as a result of a bounce over a water drain, which caused Leclerc, who was defending against McLaren's Oscar Piastri, to veer off track and crash into the tyre barrier.

Fortunately, the SF-26 endured the hit, with deceleration surpassing 50G, and will only need the transmission casing replaced, rather than a complete power unit for the race in Madrid this weekend.

The Spanish Grand Prix presents another opportunity for Ferrari to test its ADUO engine upgrade, which was first introduced at Monza, although the team has indicated that it is not a ‘game changer’.

Overall, Monza was a letdown for the Italian team, which secured only eight points from Lewis Hamilton’s sixth-place finish, while both drivers nearly collided during the opening lap.

This leaves Ferrari trailing 122 points behind championship front-runner Mercedes, who claimed victory at Monza through Kimi Antonelli, marking him as the first Italian to win his home race since Ludovico Scarfiotti in 1966.
