Kimi Antonelli

Ferrari Dutch GP horror as Kimi Antonelli takes out Charles Leclerc

Kimi Antonelli has pushed Charles Leclerc into retirement at Zandvoort.

Charles Leclerc is out of the Dutch Grand Prix after crashing heavily following contact with Kimi Antonelli on the exit of Turn 3.

The Ferrari driver was tagged by the young Italian on lap 53 of 72, sending him flying into the wall.

The Mercedes driver got a front right puncture from the contact and subsequently pitted during the ensuing safety car.

Antonelli went in hot at Turn 3, understeering out to the exit, where he collected Leclerc, who was an innocent passenger as he hurtled towards the barrier, terminally damaging his SF-25.

The Monegasque driver is already due to be investigated by the FIA stewards after the race at Zandvoort for his earlier clash with the other Mercedes of George Russell, who picked up damage in that battle.

Antonelli has been handed a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision. The 18-year-old subsequently was handed a further punishment, of five seconds, for speeding in the pit lane.
