Charles Leclerc had a literally painful race weekend at the F1 American Grand Prix. Ferrari driver Leclerc was angry at another botched race strategy on Sunday, complaining about team orders to let his teammate Carlos Sainz pass, and was disqualified for a worn ‘plank’. Ta.
But just one week after his 26th birthday, nothing was more painful than the dental issues that plagued him all weekend in Austin. “He had been on pretty strong painkillers since Thursday,” Leclerc told Bild. “He had been taking quite strong painkillers since Thursday,” Bild newspaper quoted the Monegasque driver as saying. “Sometimes it got worse, sometimes it got better, but it didn’t affect the race,” Leclerc said, adding that he thought the infection in his wisdom tooth might be getting worse. This could be a big problem for Friday’s pole sitter, who is just days away from this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix. Asked if he would need surgery to have his wisdom teeth removed, Leclerc said: “I don’t know yet.” But this is a particularly bad time for such problems to arise. This is because after Mexico, they are in the midst of a grueling triple header of three overseas matches, with Brazil to follow. Furthermore, there is only one week off until the first Grand Prix in Las Vegas, which will be the final race in Abu Dhabi. “It’s a tight schedule with no room for toothache,” said correspondent Silja Ruhr.
