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 in Monaco.
The infection won’t impact Leclerc’s participati💃on at this weekend’s race, according to F1 presenter Will Buxton.
“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.&nbꦉsp;
“I asked him about it and said is it going to affect his ༒balance or anything and he s🌸aid: ‘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 summ♕er break.

Strol🌸l was pictured with a ban𒉰dage on his upper neck when he arrived in the paddock later on Thursday.
