Charles Leclerc will be keen to record his second victory of the 2024 Formula One season by clinching the Spanish Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver endured a disappointing display at the Canadian Grand Prix on 9 June as he failed to finish the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Leclerc started on the 11th grid, but he was forced to retire from the race due to an engine problem and he couldn't collect a single point from the event.
Formula One title ambitions
The 2015 European Formula 3 Championship winner is still placed second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 138 points.
Leclerc is 56 points behind leader, Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing as the two battle for this season's Formula One world title.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix
For the first time in the current campaign, the 26-year-old failed to finish in the top four in a race when he was forced to retire from the Canadian Grand Prix.
Leclerc, who won the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, will be even more determined to return to winning ways by clinching the Spanish Grand Prix.
What did he say?
"The bottom line today is that the engine issue is what compromised our race," Leclerc said after the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix.
"We were losing substantial lap time compared to the other cars, so we tried to go on slicks, knowing that it was our only chance to try to finish in the points. There was nothing to lose and I’ve got no regrets on that.
"This one hurts and it’s a big loss of points for the team with both of us unable to finish. We will look into the issue we had to make sure it doesn’t happen again."
