Ferrari Mechanic Takes A Tumble In Front Of Charles Leclerc

Ferrari Mechanic Takes A Tumble In Front Of Charles Leclerc

Ferrari was the big winner at the Mexican Grand Prix, but one mechanic may want to forget his time there.

As Charles Leclerc was pulling into pit lane at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City during the final practice session, one mechanic began running backwards to get into position.

But they tripped over their own feet, taking a tumble backwards, before jumping back to their feet.

Despite a bruised ego, they gave the thumbs-up signal to the rest of the team and were unharmed.

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz won the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday, and McLaren's Lando Norris closed the gap on Max Verstappen after another furious battle that cost the reigning three-time series champion three penalties and shaved 10 points off Verstappen's lead.

Second-placed Norris' Australian teammate Oscar Piastri drove from 17th on the grid to eighth place.

But, with Sainz's teammate Leclerc finishing third, Ferrari closed the gap on constructors' championship leaders McLaren to 29 points as they overtook Red Bull to be second in the standings.
