New Kid on the Block Charles Leclerc’s Latest Social Media Antics Makes Fans Point Fingers at Pierre Gasly

Charles Leclerc has once again taken the world of Formula 1 fans by storm. No, not because of his runner-up finish in the drivers’ standings ahead of Sergio Perez, but because of his social media activity. Now fans suggest Pierre Gasly may have something to do with it.

Ferrari took a lot of criticism from fans and pundits alike for their failed strategies throughout the season. However, the masterstroke displayed by them in Abu Dhabi on Sunday caught even Red Bull’s strategists off-guard. They suggested Charles Leclerc to come in for a second time for a tire change to undercut Sergio Perez.

Charles Leclerc was, however, never to come in for a second pit stop and the radio message was bait for the Red Bull strategists. Taking the bait, they called Sergio Perez in for a tire change while Leclerc stayed out and eventually finished ahead of Perez and took the runner-up position in the drivers’ standings.

Fans go berserk as they find out Charles Leclerc is on BeReal

However, what recently caught fans’ attention was Charles Leclerc’s social media activity. In a photo doing rounds of the internet, Charles is sitting in his Ferrari cockpit and taking a selfie. Pretty normal until now, right? Well, what intrigued fans was the BeReal watermark, with the username hidden, of course.

Have a look at some reactions to fans finding out Charles is on BeReal.

Last month Pierre Gasly posted a photo from his BeReal from one of the press conferences. Fans are now convinced it was Pierre who coerced Charles to join him on the platform.

We do not disagree. F1 drivers’ posts on BeReal would really be pretty amazing to follow.

Another fan believed Charles joining BeReal definitely had something to do with the new Alpine driver.

One fan is willing to do whatever it takes to get the Monegasque’s BeReal username.

For the uninitiated, BeReal is a platform where one can share photos from every day with their followers. What separates it from the rest of the social media platforms is the restriction to post only one photo each day. Moreover, users randomly receive a notification to post the photo within two minutes. What further separates it from the rest of the social media platforms is the attempt to curb hours of scrolling and addiction.
