This is one reason why I'm a big fan of you, Charles. I've never seen you disappointing someone, neither little fans nor adult fans. It is hard to do because you have little privacy and a lot of people are demanding from you. Keep this attitude up as long as you can, it's great❤️

On the racing front, Charles is very much aware of his poor track record in the streets of Monaco, where he grew up. This weekend, he will very much like to change the fact that he has never finished a Monaco GP during his time in Formula 1. In light of this, there might be a slight caution in his approach this weekend.

Leclerc always pushes the car and himself to the limit while he is on the track. But sometimes that has left him in the wall for trying too hard for an extra tenth. With a potential championship-winning car under him in 2022, he is aware he may not need to push the car as hard this time around.
“Last year, I took a lot of risks. I knew I needed a miracle to get to the front row. I’m going to do everything I can to win and not leave anything on the table, but I’ve learned, sometimes there are situations that require more caution,” said the Monegasque driver.
