## Resource

Charles Leclerc’s Monaco crash wasn’t just bad luck—it was the latest symptom of a deeper braking crisis. Struggling with inconsistent temps and only one brake working properly, he switched to Lewis Hamilton’s setup in hopes of regaining confidence, but the fix hasn’t been enough. Despite feeling better behind the wheel, Leclerc’s results still lag, as Hamilton pulls ahead by 46 points. With crashes in Barcelona and a power steering retirement, the pressure mounts as Ferrari’s new braking system continues to expose a widening gap between the two drivers.
