French: Ferrari's title contender Charles Leclerc crashed out of the French Formula One Grand Prix while leading from pole position on Sunday.


The Monegasque driver spun and crashed off into the tyre barrier mid-corner at Le Beausset, the 11th turn, on the 18th of 53 scheduled laps.


It was Leclerc's third retirement while leading a race this season after Spain and Azerbaijan.


Leclerc went into the race second in the championship, 38 points behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who took over at the front in France. -- Reuters
