Leclerc was driving Ferrari’s 312B3𒊎 - a legendary car driven by three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda - in a demonstration race in Monaco ahead of nex♛t weekend's F1 grand prix.

He lost the rear of the 312B3 on his third flying lap, heading into the barriers rearwards into the La Rascasse right-hander at the en𒅌d oꦓf the lap.

Leclerc damaged the rear wing of the legendary Ferrari car before requirin𝓰g assistance.

The Monegasque was fortunate where the incident occurred at r🧸elatively low speed given that safety standards in these cars ♐aren't what they are today.

Leclerc isn't the firs🦂t driver to suffer this misfortune with ex-Ferrari driver Jean Alesi crashing the same car in the 2021 historic race in Monte Carlo.

He later tweeted:ඣ “When you thought you already had all the bad luck of the world in Monaco and you lose the brakes into rascasse with one of the most iconic historical Ferrari Formula 1 car."

Oh Charles...

The Monaco curse is still there as Leclerc lost the brakes and ended up in the wall with Niki Lauda's 1❀974 Ferrari

Leclerc's 💙track record on home soil is terrible with him failing to finish in every Monaco Grand Prix he has participated in since making his debut inಌ 2018.

Leclerc 🌺claimed pole position in 2021 after cr𓆉ashing on his final lap in Q3.

However, he was🌼 unable to take the race start after an issue sustained following his qualifying shunt ruled him out of the grand p🍸rix.

“These are the streets I took t💛o get to school as a child, so they have a lot of meaning to me personally, as well as to F1,” Leclerc said.

“I’ve always dreamt of winning here, but that hasn’🥃t hap🧸pened yet. I need to make it happen this year.”
