Charles Leclerc is one of the most talented drivers in Formula One right now. The Monegasque native has driven for Ferrari since the 2019 season. He has showcased his skills, outside of F1, to his fans, such as playing piano and E-racing in the lockdown period.
And recently, he played a charity soccer match wearing the AS Monaco team’s jersey. The match was played to help the association “Fight Aids Monaco.” The match was organized by the soccer team.

Charles Leclerc reveals things he learned from Carlos Sainz
As reported by Racer, Carlos Sainz joined the Ferrari F1 team at the beginning of the 2021 season. Although Leclerc beat Sainz in most races and qualifying, Sainz finished ahead of him in the championship. But the Monegasque driver stated he learned a lot from his first year partnering with Carlos.

“I think we learned a lot. As always when you have a new teammate, you always learn with just the new ways Carlos is approaching race weekends, the way he works, his talent, his raw speed also, the way he takes the corners… And he had an amazing year, so he has obviously pushed me very, very much to try and perform better at every race. It’s just been extremely interesting,” said Charles.
“I think maybe one of the strong points of Carlos is the race management and tire management, and that’s probably been my weakness (since) 2019. I’ve progressed a lot as a driver in 2020 and again (in 2021) and part of that is thanks to Carlos,” added the Ferrari driver.

Charles Leclerc will look to regain his lost luck in the 2022 championship. He is the golden boy of the Italian team and if they challenge for the title next season, then Charles will certainly be their preferred driver. But let’s see if the Italian team can offer a car to match the talent of Leclerc next season.
