Charles Leclerc took his brand-new Ferrari S812 Competizione Aperta for a drive in the streets of Monte Carlo. Leclerc has been the standout driver for Scuderia Ferrari since he joined the team in 2019. The talented Monegasque driver has cemented his position at Maranello over the years. However, his position may be challenged when Lewis Hamilton joins the Italian team in 2025. Despite this, Leclerc is fully focused on the upcoming F1 season. Recently, he decided to take his million-dollar ride for a spin in Monaco.
Leclerc was seen cruising the streets of Monte Carlo in his new Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta, which is valued at over $6 million. The 26-year-old driver was dressed in a stylish tuxedo during his outing. It seemed like he was enjoying a day out in his new car. Leclerc even received greetings from a few individuals before he drove away.
Last year, Leclerc obtained a special license plate for his car. However, in the video, the car still had the previous license plate. Nevertheless, it is clear that the 26-year-old is thoroughly enjoying his new Maranello vehicle. The S812 Competizione Aperta boasts an astonishing 830 horsepower from its massive Ferrari V12 engine.
Recently, Charles Leclerc signed a lucrative contract extension with Ferrari. However, this news was overshadowed by the announcement of Lewis Hamilton’s arrival in 2025. This could potentially change the dynamics within the team, as the seven-time world champion aims to shape the team around himself.
Leclerc was reportedly taken aback and disappointed by Ferrari’s decision to sign Lewis Hamilton. The young driver was unaware of the team’s plans to bring in Hamilton in 2025. As a result, Leclerc will need to step up and establish himself as the team leader before the Mercedes driver’s arrival.
The Monegasque driver must deliver strong results for the team right from the start and maximize the car’s potential. Additionally, Charles Leclerc needs to reaffirm his position within the Ferrari team to ensure that he retains their support once Lewis Hamilton joins Maranello next year.
