Charles Leclerc Born in the Mediterranean idyll of Monaco, Charles Leclerc arrived in F1 on a tidal wave of expectation. 

Practically peerless on his way to the GP3 and Formula 2 crowns, he showcased a dazzling array of skills from scorching pole positions, commanding victories – even when his car caught fire twice at Silverstone – to an ability to muscle his way through the pack. Winning back-to-back championships also taught Charles Leclerc how to handle pressure, another useful tool in the big pond of Formula 1 racing. 

Charles Leclerc may have quit school early, but he looks every inch the complete driver. World champions Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have even gone on record to say Charles Leclerc is the real deal – and it’s not often they agree on anything…

Stepping up to F1 in 2018, Charles Leclerc showed flashes of ballistic pace on Saturdays and racing brilliance on Sundays, dragging the Sauber beyond its limits – and earning himself a money-can’t-buy race seat at Ferrari for 2019, stepping into the shoes of the Scuderia’s last world champion, Kimi Raikkonen.
