TikTok, one of the world’s most famous social media applications, has often stood out as the primary entertainment zone for Formula One teams like Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Mercedes. In fact, in 2021, pretty much every race weekend had the teams pushing out a TikTok video, featuring their respective drivers, including Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel. However, unfortunately, Ferrari’s shining star, Charles Leclerc, was never a fan of it.

Well, it looks like his reluctance to join TikTok has finally ended! Yes, you heard it right – The Monegasque has officially made it to what is indeed the most successful entertainment app. What’s interesting is that this news comes barely weeks after his former teammate, Vettel, made it to Instagram in a shocking turn of events. Hence, 2022 has certainly been a year of surprises for the entire F1 fandom.
Now, let’s return to Charles Leclerc. Not only did the Ferrari driver join TikTok but, also managed to unleash his first video as well, which left his die-hard fans yearning for more such content.
Charles Leclerc joins TikTok
As soon as Leclerc sneaked his way into the world of TikTok, the official TikTok Twitter handle decided to offer the 24-year-old a warm welcome. They wrote, “Welcome to TikTok, Charles Leclerc! We’re so excited to have you.” But, that wasn’t it. There was a video underneath the caption featuring a message from Leclerc to his fans.

Kimi Raikkonen‘s Ferrari F1 successor said, “Everyone, welcome to my TikTok channel! I am finally here to show you a little bit more about my life. I hope you all enjoy it.”
Soon after, Charles Leclerc officially posted his first TikTok video, which opened with him saying, “Okay, let’s go!” while at the wheel of his yacht. Then followed a series of perfectly edited short video clips of himself working out, swimming, and even winking at the camera.
