Charles Leclerc, the talented Ferrari driver, is often referred to as the team’s “Golden Boy” who has the potential to bring back the old glory. Leclerc recently secured a significant victory at the Monaco GP, his home race, which intensified speculations about a possible championship battle. The driver himself expressed that winning this prestigious prize was a childhood dream and continues to motivate him to perform at his best every day.
Leclerc, who joined the Formula 1 grid in 2018 with the ambition of becoming the first Monegasque world champion, joined Ferrari, the most prestigious team in F1 history, in his second year. It was widely believed that his ambition would soon be realized. However, Ferrari’s performance has not matched its glory days in the 2000s, and Leclerc’s dream remains unrealized.
In a recent interview, Leclerc revealed the driving force behind his success in Formula 1. The winner of six races stated that victory is the sole motivation at the pinnacle of motorsport. He dreams of winning the world championship every day and aspires to become a champion like the greats who came before him.
As mentioned earlier, Leclerc is currently the leading driver at Ferrari and recently won his home race. He is just 31 points behind Max Verstappen in the provisional standings. However, Leclerc claims he is not currently concerned about the title battle. However, within the walls of Ferrari, the situation may be quite different.
Despite Leclerc’s attempts to downplay the championship rumors, insiders suggest otherwise. It is believed that winning the race in Monaco has relieved a significant amount of pressure off Leclerc’s shoulders. However, the topic of championship glory is still inevitable within the team.
Meanwhile, Ferrari’s rivals are becoming increasingly concerned that the team has reached the peak of development with their car. If these fears become reality, Ferrari and their passionate fans, known as Tifosi, could have a golden opportunity to secure a surprising victory in Formula 1 history. The next Canadian GP promises to be an exciting event for several reasons.
