Charles Leclerc was forced into 14-hour drive to Zandvoort after ear infection stopped him flying
After contracting an ear infection, Leclerc had to change his plans and get to Zandvoort by road - a 14-hour journey by car from his home 𓆏in Monaco.
The infection won’t impact Leclerc’s participation at this weekend’s race, according to F1 presenter Will Bux🔯ton.
“Charles Leclerc had an ear infection as well, so he couldn💙’t fly here.﷽ He had to drive here,” Buxton said ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix.
“I asked him ꦦabout it and said is it going to affect his balance or anything and he said: ‘No, I’m totally cool, I’ll be good to drive all fine. But couldn’t fly, had to drive.”
Leclerc is the second driver to pick up♔ an infection as the F1 season prepares to resume following🍸 the summer break.
Aston Martin’s Lance Sꦿtroll skipped his media day duties at Zandvoort due to “recovering from an infection”.
Stroll was pictured ဣwith a bandage on his upper neck when he arrived in the paddock later on Thursday.
Aston Martin sa🍸ys the Canadian is “fit and well and will compete this weekend”.
