Charles Leclerc has always credited a lot of F1 successes to his early karting days. After all, that is where the foundation of this prosperous personality was built. It was so important to him that he even created his own kart brand, in association with Birel ART. The Monegasque driver is also seen at karting events cheering his young cousin on. However, at a recent karting competition, it is his wholesome interaction with a young competitor of his cousin’s that has broken the internet.
Ever since his karting days, Charles Leclerc has supported young talent. He is also one of the most loved drivers on the F1 grid. His fan interactions, in particular, are very pleasing to watch as he is always kind and patient with them. One such interaction with young karting talent at the Sarno racetrack is a prime example of his kind-heartedness.

On the 25th of June, Leclerc was seen in attendance for round 4 of the WSK Open series at the Circuito Internazionale Napoli, in Italy. He was there to support his 10-year-old cousin, Andrea Manni, who drives for Tony Kart Racing. It wasn’t a great race for Manni, as he finished in P14. Another disappointed driver was David Moscardi, who finished in P13. But having his idol, Charles Leclerc, on his back, was enough for him to get over the failure.
Leclerc’s fans were overwhelmed with glee after seeing the interaction with the young karting talent.
