Charles Leclerc is the 2022 world championship leader and has showcased some phenomenal performances so far. Although the championship leader is phenomenal at his own sport, as it turns out, he might not be that great with a baseball.
The Ferrari driver is in the Magic City of Florida for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. While there at the Magic City, Leclerc went to see the baseball match of the Miami Marlins. But, the Monegasque driver didn’t restrain himself to just watching the match but also tried some catching with baseball player Avisail Garcia.
