Leclerc, whose team mate Sebastian Vettel had already retired with brake failure, clambered out of the car apparently unscathed.

"It's a big crash," the Monegasque said on the team radio.

Mercedes' six times world champion Lewis Hamilton was leading the race but had yet to serve a 10 second stop/go penalty for entering the pit lane after it had closed. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Jason Neely)
