Charles Leclerc is widely known for his willingness to explore new ventures. In the recent race in Saudi Arabia, the driver secured a spot on the podium, showcasing his exceptional skills. Formula 1 drivers are often expected to excel in various sports, including golf. However, Leclerc humbly admits that he is not a proficient golfer, dismissing any claims of his expertise in the sport.
Leclerc is renowned for his versatility, whether playing a melody on the piano or maneuvering through high-speed corners at over 200 miles per hour. He is always eager to acquire new knowledge and skills. However, when it comes to playing eighteen holes on a golf course, Leclerc has not yet mastered the game.
When asked about his golfing abilities, Leclerc humorously stated: “I carefully select the shots to look professional.” This lighthearted comment emphasizes his self-awareness regarding his lack of skill in golf. He has been seen playing the sport before, but openly admits that he is far from being good at it. He even received a suggestion to learn from his teammate, who is recognized for his impressive golfing skills.
Leclerc and his teammate are expected to be strong competitors against their formidable opponents. However, despite having the second fastest car in 2024, Leclerc finished significantly behind the dominant competitor in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic and believes that Ferrari will soon be able to challenge Red Bull.
Although Leclerc acknowledges the substantial difference between Ferrari and Red Bull, he is confident that Scuderia will eventually reduce it. Engineers in Maranello are working tirelessly to narrow this gap and provide Leclerc and his teammate with a competitive machine to rival the Red Bulls. As they prepare for the upcoming race in Melbourne, the team is determined to secure top positions and bring back the glory of the iconic Italian team, putting an end to Red Bull’s current domination.
