Learning nothing from $320,000 life threatening Robbery, Charles Leclerc shows off $200,000 masterpiece during Monte Carlo Masters

Max Verstappen showed aggression to Lewis Hamilton in 2021. What did Hamilton do after they crashed multiple times? Gave Max the space to avoid contact. Charles Leclerc faced a life-threatening $320,000 robbery last year. What did he do? Showcased another masterpiece worth $200,000 at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters. Some people never learn from their mistakes. Let’s find out what was the masterpiece and all about it.

The driver’s title was not the only thing Charles Leclerc had to part ways with in 2022. Prior to the Emilia Romagna GP in 2022, the Monegasque had to part ways with a limited edition Richard Mille RM 67-02. The watch cost around $320,000. While he was in Italy, some people saw Charles Leclerc when he was with Andrea Ferrari and asked for photographs. In the process, they took the watch of Charles Leclerc’s wrist and fled the crime scene.

Since then, 4 people who were found in the custody of 2 watches have been arrested. It is yet to be confirmed if one of the watches were actually Leclerc’s. However, not learning anything from the incident, the Ferrari driver was again seen wearing an expensive watch at a public event. Charles Leclerc was spotted alongside Pierre Gasly at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters final day seen wearing another costly watch.

The watch that Charles Leclerc was spotted wearing is worth around $200,000. The watch was a Titanium Richard Mille RM 72-01 ‘Flyback Chronograph’. According to the Instagram post uploaded by the super watchman, the watch features a 38 mm case in grade 5 titanium, 5N Red Gold, black TZP, and white ATZ ceramic with a 5N red gold case presented in a white rubber strap.

The F1 drivers are no less than celebrities and what they wear and how they look matter a lot. Besides being a great watch with incredible movement, Richard Mille is also a status symbol. The brand is also a sponsor for the Scuderia Ferrari. The Monegasque has performed exceptionally well at the Azerbaijan GP so far and is looking to carry the same form into Sunday.

Charles Leclerc remains optimistic for the Azerbaijan Main race

Leclerc clinched the pole in both the normal qualifying and the sprint qualifying. However, he lost a position to Sergio Perez as he breezed past and would’ve been overtaken by Max Verstappen had it not been for George Russell damaging his car. Nevertheless, the Monegasque is excited about the main race and expects to score big points for the team on Sunday.

According to GpBlog.com, Charles Leclerc said “It shows how bad the first three races were because if in a Sprint you double the points, that’s not a good sign normally. But, it’s like this. We deserve much more points than what I have now in the Championship. We haven’t been very lucky in the first three races, but hopefully, we can have a clean race tomorrow. In the end, that’s where we will score big points.”
