Italian GP 2026: Leclerc crash reported at Monza

Autosport reported Charles Leclerc retired from the 2026 Italian Grand Prix after a lap-two crash at Monza, with a red flag and Ferrari title context.

Autosport reported that Charles Leclerc went out of the Italian Grand Prix after a crash on lap two at Monza, an incident that the outlet said brought out the red flag. According to that report, the Ferrari driver was defending fourth place from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri when he lost control after oversteer.

The incident remains reported rather than confirmed here. Leclerc arrived at the event fifth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 155 points, and the Monegasque driver’s Formula 1 record stood at 182 entries, nine wins, 24 pole positions and 53 podiums.

In a separate race report, Autosport also said Kimi Antonelli won his home Italian Grand Prix from 19th on the grid and finished ahead of Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
