Apart from Monaco, Baku would probably go down as one of the closest cities to Charles Leclerc’s heart. The city marked his F2 victory during his successful 2017 championship run after the demise of his father. And it was only a few days before the 2023 Baku GP that the driver decided to release his first instrumental single, AUS23 (1:1). The song, upon release, climbed the iTunes charts and currently stands at sixth. Many fans even suggest that the song was a tribute to his father, Herve.
Now that the song has been successful, the Monegasque has been teased by many for already becoming a successful musician, a title he humbly denies. However, the melancholy song has now invited questions about a partnership with Lewis Hamilton, who has some experience singing himself. But it was the description of the song by Leclerc that invited friendly concerns from the fans.

The Ferrari driver termed the song a “depression song” before inviting Lewis Hamilton for a collab. And behind this expression, the fans believe that it was Ferrari’s doing that prompted him to say this. The ridicule of Ferrari that followed was worth seeing as the fans slandered the team in red for the damage caused to a once happy and blooming Charles.
Ferrari called out for troubling Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc’s tenure at Ferrari has been nothing short of a roller coaster. After a promising season last year, the team is back to its old ways, leaving Leclerc and his fans slamming their heads into the walls. All the fans accuse the team of the troubles endured by Leclerc and for pushing into an unrepairable area, as even future songs, including a potential collab with Lewis Hamilton, would be “depression songs”.

The fans have always been protective of Leclerc. Despite having just six points to his name in the opening three rounds, they believe it’s the Monegasque who can bring the silverware back to Maranello.
"Straight from Stevenage, L to the H!
Records tell seven, my people say eight.
Whatever… since then, I drive cars I hate.My man Charles, from Monaco to Italy!
In your red Ferrari, you exhilarate the tifosi.
If your team don't f*ck up your strategy, "BOOM" goes your I-C-E."— Au Rupteur (@AuRupteur) April 27, 2023
“Bonooo… my tyres are gone…
