After the customary pre-Monaco GP football play, Carlos Sainz received treatment, which made the night for Ferrari F1 drivers unpleasant.

Sainz’s presence in this weekend’s race in Monte Carlo raised some early questions as the Spaniard was seen after the match with a bandage around his right leg.

But when it became clear that he had only had a bruised thigh, worries that he might not be a strong contender for the coveted event were dashed.

Crash.net has received confirmation from a Ferrari representative that Sainz is “ok”.

Leclerc’s situation didn’t get much better after he face-planted the deck and had an awkward fall just ninety seconds into the game.

During a difficult night for Ferrari’s F1 drivers, Carlos Sainz needed medical attention, while Charles Leclerc collapsed during a charity football play.

In addition, Pierre Gasly of Alpine and Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin participated in the all-star football match, which benefits a children’s charity.

When the Ferrari drivers take to the wheel again this weekend in Monaco, they will be hoping for better luck.
