Charles Leclerc was unable to fulfill his media obligations this Thursday at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver, feeling unwell, preferred to stay away from the track and recover for Friday.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Charles is feeling unwell and will not come to the circuit today. He will rest and focus on his recovery, and we expect to see him in the car tomorrow \u00bb, Ferrari stated in a declaration on their social media.<\/p>\n
The exact nature of his indisposition remains unknown. The Monegasque driver, who was not scheduled for the FIA press conference, was nevertheless supposed to meet with journalists in the paddock. He will make his first appearance on the Imola track directly on Friday, just before the first free practice session.<\/p>\n
If the absence of a driver during media day is always noticed, it is not uncommon in F1. Indeed, drivers must be present on Thursday to speak with the press and especially participate in technical meetings with their teams, but those suffering from health issues sometimes prefer to sacrifice their media obligations in order to recover and be operational from the first laps.<\/p>\n
