Charles presented the fan with a pair of signed gloves he used during the season, Ferrari hats, shirts, and 2 tickets for Disneyland.

Speaking on the show, the fan’s girlfriend said, “I’ve always come first for my boyfriend. but when Charles drives, that’s the only time I come second.”

Leclerc had some kind words for the fan as well. “I know what it means to travel a lot, but to do it for love in such a situation shows the good person you are. I know you admire the drivers but my admiration for you is bigger. for the person you are, the values you have. I’m touched, you 2 deserve all the happiness.”

Charles Leclerc feels money hasn’t changed him

Charles Leclerc is the fifth-highest-paid Formula 1 driver, and in terms of material wealth, has it all. As per Forbes, he earns around $23 million a year. Being an F1 driver, he has quite a taste in cars and owns several Ferraris, a Rolls-Royce, and a Bugatti, among others. To top that, he lives in one of the most elegant places in the world- Monaco. However, in a 2020 interview, he told that money hasn’t changed him.

Speaking with TKart, Charles said, “I certainly grew a lot compared to the times of karting. But it’s true, I’ve always been tough on the track. The only thing I’ve always had in mind, when I race, is to win!”

“I don’t think money and notoriety have changed me. In the end, I’m the same person I have always been. This is also why I like to organize karting days, because I look for the simplicity and authenticity of the people who met me long before I got to F1. Then, of course, seeing so many fans who greet you and look at you is always a pleasure, and I can perceive the difference even if compared to 5 – 6 years ago. But I don’t think this has changed me.”
