F1 fans were left baffled when Charles Leclerc briefly disappeared from view after his Mexico Grand Prix crash with Sergio Perez.<\/p>\n

Pole sitter Leclerc ended up colliding with the Red Bull of Perez on the first corner of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track, having been sandwiched between him and Max Verstappen following a poor start off the line.<\/p>\n

Perez was sent flying into the air and ultimately had to retire in the pits having not completed a lap, while the Ferrari took to the grass after the contact. That saw him head in the direction of the CGI adverts.<\/p>\n

As a result it looked like he'd gone under the logo of German lubricant company Liqui Moly before re-joining the track. Not everyone understood what had happened.<\/p>\n

One viewer asked: "Can someone explain how Leclerc's car disappears under the ad on the grass?" Another questioned: "How did @Charles_Leclerc disappear through the painted grass? Seemed like a glitch in the Matrix?"<\/p>\n

"Stupid me who didn't know that the ads were CGI and just wondered where Charles did go," wrote a third, while a fourth admitted: "I\u2019m not gonna lie I didn\u2019t realise this was CGI until Charles glitched out of existence."<\/p>\n

A fifth commented: "I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me." And a sixth added: "Thank God. I thought I'd finally actually lost my marbles."<\/p>\n

CGI adverts have been used in Formula One for well over a decade. Previously they would have to be painted onto the surface, a much more laborious task compared to the digital equivalent.<\/p>\n

Being added into the broadcast instead means sponsors can be changed easier as and when new contracts are signed, as opposed to having to scrub them off the track.<\/p>\n
