This was really bad luck ...
On the other hand , I think Charlie was very lucky that it occurred during the formation lap at low speed and 'NOT at topspeed !
Leclerc queried through the onboard radio why he was so unlucky.

From hindsight, he was very lucky that it happened during the formation lap.

Any such failure whilst racing the car could end with dire consequences, possibly even fatal, for the driver (who becomes a passenger of a loose bullet).
