Charles Leclerc, the Monaco driver, faced technical difficulties with his Ferrari SF-24 car during the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix. Ferrari team boss, Frederic Vasseur, was hoping for a red flag to address the engine issue without Leclerc losing positions on the track. However, the red flag was never waved and Leclerc had to make a pit stop, resulting in almost a lost lap. Despite attempts to restart the car and switch to a different tire compound, Leclerc ended up retiring from the race.
