Charles Leclerc Left With Two Words As Pierre Gasly & Yuki Tsunoda Make An Uncanny Couple

AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda has finally joined the list of drivers to reveal their relationship status. And, of course, social media did not miss a chance to make a meme out of Pierre Gasly and Tsunoda. Surprisingly, Charles Leclerc joined in on the fun as well.

Gasly and Tsunoda make up one of Formula 1’s most hilarious pairings. The young Japanese driver made his debut in 2021 and immediately hit it off with the Frenchman. The two always make us laugh off the track with their awkward interviews.

After Tsunoda revealed he has a girlfriend, a meme of Pierre Gasly as a woman, alongside the Japanese driver spread like wildfire. And Leclerc did not miss his opportunity to mock Gasly. He commented, “@pierregasly t’es mignonne”, which translates to “you’re cute.”

The friendship between Leclerc and Gasly has been well-documented. The pair grew up karting together and to this day, remain close off the track.

Speaking about his bond with Gasly, the Monegasque said, “I get along well with the guys I run against. With Verstappen or with Lando Norris … But if I have to choose a friend, I say Pierre Gasly. We’ve known each other since we were six, we ran and went on vacation together. The bond is particularly strong.” (Translated using Google)

Charles Leclerc remains optimistic about his championship hopes

On the track, the gap between Leclerc and Verstappen has further increased. The Ferrari man dominated during the early part of the season before Verstappen crawled back. Reliability issues have not helped Leclerc as he is currently 49 points behind the reigning champion.

Formula 1 returns to Silverstone this week. And after a solid drive to secure a P5 result, starting from P19, the 24-ear-old will hope that the issues with his car are finally behind him. Despite the vast gap between him and Verstappen, Leclerc is as motivated as ever.

He said, “I’m not worried, I’m just extremely motivated to finally have a clean weekend and show that we are here and we are strong. So yeah, in Silverstone hopefully we can do that.”
