F1: Leclerc grid penalty lands blow to Ferrari's title hopes

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 6 - Ferrari's hopes of winning this year's Formula One constructors' title suffered a huge setback on Friday when the team was forced to change the battery on Charles Leclerc's car, incurring a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
    Monegasque driver Leclerc and his team mate Carlos Sainz need to overturn a 21-point deficit on standings leaders McLaren to win the constructors' title.
    The penalty on a track where overtaking is not easy makes this especially tough.
    Leclerc topped the timesheets in Friday's first practice session despite a delay in getting out on track because of the battery problem. (ANSA).
