The start of the Australian Grand Prix 2023 brought a sad turn of events for fans of Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque driver, who had utter bad luck in the previous two races, now crashed out in the opening lap after a collision with Lance Stroll. Leclerc had started the race in seventh position, with his teammate Carlos Sainz in fifth. Stroll split the Ferrari cars in sixth, while George Russell had taken the lead from second on the grid. However, the race for Leclerc ended prematurely, as Stroll tapped his rear right and sent him sliding into the gravel.

After the incident, Leclerc expressed his frustration with the collision, stating, “That’s it. Lance touched my rear right.” The incident resulted in a safety car, and Leclerc’s hopes of a strong finish were dashed. This season has not been kind to Leclerc, as he suffered a DNF in the first race in Bahrain due to an engine issue. In the second race in Saudi Arabia, he lost positions due to a poorly timed safety car. The crash at the Australian Grand Prix is another blow for the talented driver, who has been plagued by bad luck this season.

The crash is particularly disappointing for Leclerc and his fans, as he had won the Australian Grand Prix the last time it was held in 2022. He had a glorious day, marking his first and only grand chalet in his career. This year, however, it was not meant to be. The incident was deemed a racing incident, and no penalty was awarded to Lance.
