This is an incredible feat for Charles and Ferrari as they lead the respective championship tables. This is an unusual setup for Leclerc in Formula 1, but he has been in this situation in the past.

Speaking with Motorsport-total Charles mentioned, “I have found myself in such a situation in the junior series before, but it means a lot to me to be able to do the same in Formula 1. Especially after the last few years and especially with a team like Ferrari. It feels incredible!”.
