During the race Charles Leclerc’s car shut down in the chicane and he thought he was out of the race. However he managed to get his Ferrari started up again to give it another try doing another 2 laps. But the problem was he had already taken off his seatbelts when he pressed the button for switching his car back on and he can’t put them back on by himself.

"Chicos, necesitamos parar.
Cuando fui a pulsar el botón para volver a arrancar el coche… mis cinturones están desabrochados. Así que cuando freno me muevo bastante.
Que no me importa, pero seguramente a nadie le haga gracia que esté pilotando sin cinturones". – Leclerc pic.twitter.com/HyvYP4xDzd

Charles: “Guys, we need to box, we need to box. When I went for the button to switch the car back on again, my seatbelts are off now. So when I brake I am moving quite a bit. I don’t mind but I am pretty sure nobody would be happy me driving without seatbelts.”
Engineer: “Copy”
