No matter what the outcome is of a session in Formula 1, the F1 meme world does not stop and continues to keep putting out quality content. Sometimes the memes are served on a platter by drivers and F1 themselves and at other times, it takes a sharp mind to make the connections. But we cannot really be sure about the Leclerc-Piastri meme going on whether someone at F1 made a mistake or deliberately put Leclerc’s name in.

You must be wondering what we are talking about. Let us explain it all to you and how Charles got the extra Leclerc power from Oscar Piastri’s adoption. Earlier during the Free Practice 1 session, Piastri finished P2 splitting the Mercedes drivers.  However, it seemed like F1 was way too eager to put home hero Charles Leclerc’s name in the Top 3 and mentioned the McLaren driver’s name as Oscar Piastri Leclerc.

This was enough for Charles Leclerc to come up with a witty response as he commented on F1’s post suggesting he can adopt Oscar Piastri if needed, followed by a comment explaining how it was a mixed session for the Leclerc family [Piastri P2 and Leclerc only P5]. Since the Monegasque mentioned the Leclerc family, fans believe that Piastri has successfully become a part of the Leclerc family. 

And now as Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri performed brilliantly at Monaco GP, the comments around the Leclerc family are rushing in thick and fast. The Monegasque looked quick all weekend and will start his home race from the pole position with family member Oscar Piastri [Leclerc] just behind him in P2. Many believe that it was the power of family [Vin Diesel’s Intensely looks] because of which Leclerc overcame the Monaco curse. 

For those who don’t know, the Monaco curse is essentially Leclerc getting messed up and losing the Monaco GP or crashing out one way or another. Now let’s see what one-pot meal the fans are creating about the Leclerc Family.
