EXCLUSIVE
A SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT WITH THE MONEGASQUE F1 CHAMPION CHARLES LECLERC
By Maurizio Abbati
His unquestioned talent has already made him a ‘ Made in Monaco ’ icon able to hit the mark both as a sportsman and as a positive influencer . Since his debut in motorsport at an early stage he has been showing determination , self-control but also humanity and respect for opponents . His winwin outcome in the French Karting Championship served as the best springboard to a career on the rise , from Formula 3 to Formula 2 up to the leading role as Ferrari F1 driver . Charles Leclerc always confirms a great balance , mental freshness and a communicative ability strengthened by his multilingual knowledge . HelloMonaco had the privilege to interview him at an exclusive Remote Press Conference , organised by Scuderia Ferrari on Tuesday the 16th March 2021 .
A unique opportunity to talk with him about his future challenges to overcome an unprecedented F1 World Championship Season severely affected by the pandemic . In his words , a great desire to do even better and make Ferrari greater again , having it well in mind that personal success is gained only through hard work and preparation , fruit of a great team spirit and passion for everything you do . That was the very winning factor that brought him to win the podium at the Gran Premio d ’ Italia ( Italian Grand Prix ) in late September 2019 , shortly after his sporting exploit at Spa-Francorchamps motor-racing circuit .
I am so thrilled to compete ‘ at home ’. It is always a special feeling to me since I was born here .
