Merging his love for speed and music, Charles Leclerc is partnering with Bang and Olufsen. Leclerc, a self-taught pianist, finds his solace in music outside the hustle and bustle of Formula 1. When he is not swishing through tricky chicanes, he sits by his piano, composing beautiful pieces. Some of which comprised to creation of his first instrumental album called ‘Dreamers’. Leclerc seems to be exploring different facets, both in sports and beyond.

The company can provide Leclerc with the perfect soundtrack for his dual passions with their high-end speakers, headphones, and other audio products. The Monegasque talks about his life as a performer both on the asphalt and in music. He says: “Driving high-performance cars is about understanding the smallest details, including their sound.” Observing the similarities between his profession and passion, Leclerc appreciates his new partners. Acknowledging Bang and Olufsen’s careful attention to detail enhances the experience of listening.

Making Charles Leclerc the Global Brand Ambassador of the company, they are aiming to reach new heights together. “We will work with Charles to drive meaningful conversations around sound, produce creative campaigns and events around the globe, and release limited-edition products,” Barnes further announced.

The Ferrari No.1 can now invest equally in Formula 1 as well as in music. For those who’ve not heard a single track from ‘Dreamers’, do check it out. The pieces sound so personal that one is bound to reflect on their lives. And be in awe of Leclerc at the same time.

Merging the exhaust notes of an F1 engine and the elegance of symphony, Bang and Olufsen will be striving for greater goals with Charles Leclerc.
