Leclerc - Ferrari 312 B3

Post by PTR »

For those of you building Ferrari 312 B3's you may need to modify your rear wing position if building a Monaco car. :D

Leclerc has no luck in Monaco no matter the car.

Looks like he was really not responsible for it... Front Brake disintegrated and therefore he massively overbraked the rear axle, sending him in the spin in a milisecond...

Yes I don't blame Leclerc either, I had read one report that there was oil down on the track in that area too.

To be fair, Niki Lauda did not like that car either, so I guess it had it coming :D

Saw some pictures, his brake pad broke somehow earlier in the lap and thats what caused the issue. At least it wasn't the driveshaft...
