After a day off to reflect on likely the biggest disappointment in his motorsport career, Charles Leclerc head to Paul Ricard to put his mind off his Monaco bummer.

Ferrari was up and running with the Monegasque at Le Castellet where the Italian outfit replaced Mercedes in this week's wet weather test conducted by Pirelli as part of its 2022 18-inch wheel development program.

As Paul Ricard activated its integrated sprinkler system, Leclerc put Pirelli's intermediate tyre to the task on Tuesday morning and will switch to full wets this afternoon.
