Fuel for Thought: Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc on Miami Grand Prix, Playing Piano, More

Miami — Behind many people there’s often a village, filled with others who have made sacrifices to support one’s quest to chase their dreams.

For Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, one of those individuals is his late father, Hervé Leclerc, who was a dominant racer himself in Formula 3 throughout the 1980s and ’90s. And although his father died in ’17, the rising Ferrari sensation still credits him to this day for helping him rise to the top of his game.

Racing is in Charles’s DNA.

The 24-year-old has won two out of the four Formula 1 races so far this year—the season-opener in Bahrain and later in Australia.
