In the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) faced a dramatic final lap where he spun out while battling for third place. After successfully overtaking Max Verstappen earlier in the race, Leclerc found himself under pressure from Oscar Piastri. On the last lap, while pushing hard to reclaim his position, he lost control of his car at Turn 3 and collided with a barrier, damaging the steering arm. This incident hindered his ability to steer effectively, allowing George Russell (Mercedes) and Max Verstappen to overtake him, resulting in a disappointing P6 finish instead of a podium. Following the race, Leclerc was noted for multiple infractions by the FIA, including unsafe conditions and causing a collision with Russell. He expressed regret for his mistakes, acknowledging that he could only blame himself for the outcome.
