Ferrari say Leclerc’s Baku PU is “beyond repair”. But while he will take a new ICE, MGU-H, MGU-K and CE (his third of each), none of those switches triggers a penalty #CanadianGP

Ferrari had a shocker time in the last round as both their drivers had to retire due to mechanical issues. Firstly it was Carlos Sainz who retired due to hydraulic issues and then came the turn of Charles Leclerc who retired due to loss of power.
Agony for Carlos Sainz

Carlos Sainz registered his third DNF of the season and Charles Leclerc his second. Meanwhile, Charles started the last four races from pole position but failed to win any one of them. If Ferrari needs to beat Red Bull then they will have to find solutions to their problems or else the title will slip from their hands.
A tough break for Leclerc as his Baku hopes go up in smoke

However, things stay the same for Mercedes as they had a fairly good weekend last time around in Baku after securing a 3-4 finish. George Russell maintained his good form of run as he finished on the podium for the third time this season and Hamilton took home the P4 spot.

Moreover, Hamilton’s P4 in Baku came at a cost as when he came out of his W13 cockpit, he had endured major back pain. The Brit driver was even doubtful about the Canadian GP but he told that he will not back out from the race in Montreal.
