Leclerc has won the British GP! Well, not Charles Leclerc yet, but his brother Arthur achieved his first FIA F3 championship victory this season in Silverstone. And, of course, his older brother was there to support him as the two embraced a warm hug after Arthur’s stunning drive.

The youngest of the three Leclerc brothers, Arthur signed for Prema Racing in the F3 championship last season. He has had an impressive start to the season and currently sits 2nd in the standings with just over 10 races to go. The Monegasque is also a part of the famous Ferrari Driver Academy.

Arthur impressively held off polesitter Zak O’Sullivan, who drives for Carlin racing. After winning, he ecstatically jogged towards his brother Charles before hugging him with delight. The youngest Leclerc looks up to his older brother, who has already achieved several accolades in his time at F1.

He will look to follow in Charles’ footsteps as he continues to deliver in the junior categories. The 24-year-old himself is in a fight for the F1 championship, arguably for the first time in his career. He has started the 2022 season strongly but has been let down by his team on multiple occasions.

F1 Twitter reacts to the wholesome Arthur and Charles Leclerc moment

Fans were clearly happy to see the Prema Racing driver win his first race in this year’s F3 championship. But there is no better way to celebrate than embracing the moment with Charles and Lorenzo, the oldest of the three.

 

Leclerc’s father, Herve, also raced during the 1980s in Formula 3. Unfortunately, he passed away just a couple of days before Charles won the 2017 F2 race in Baku. It is certainly great to see the support the brothers show during each other’s successes.

Meanwhile, Charles has an important race ahead of him. He is currently 49 points behind the leader, Verstappen. And on Sunday he will start in P3, behind the Dutchman, as a result of his mistake during yesterday’s qualifying.

However, the Monegasque will hope to beat his championship rival in what promises to be an exciting race. Can Charles, like Arthur, celebrate a victory in Silverstone this week?
