Charles Leclerc announces new project with French pianist Sofiane Pamart with songs recorded during F1 off-season

The Formula 1 off-season has been quite an incidental one with several news reports coming up starting from Lewis Hamilton’s giant Ferrari deal to Red Bull placing Christian Horner on investigation for allegedly misbehavior. And this time has been eventful for Scuderia racer Charles Leclerc too as the Monegasque has landed a deal with the Maranello outfit to continue driving for them for multiple years beyond 2025. But, it appears that racing is not the only activity that occupied Leclerc’s mind during the season break.

As the Formula 1 world is gearing up for the start of a new season in a few weeks’ time, there has been an onslaught of requests from the fans for content on the F1 drivers. As they are quite bored from having to wait for the race weekends to start appearing once again, Charles Leclerc has come to the rescue of every F1 follower who likes his music.

I have enjoyed every second of this moment. During the off season, I got in a studio for two days together with Sofiane and we worked on four songs that will be released tonight at midnight.

Lewis Hamilton might have had an influence on Charles Leclerc

As Charles Leclerc has announced that he is stepping into the world of music now, there are speculations that he has been influenced by none other than Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time World Champion, who is slated to become Charles’ teammate from the 2025 season of Formula 1 onwards, has previously lended his rapping skills for a Christina Aguilera song called ‘Pipe’ where he used the pseudonym of XNDA.

Charles Leclerc’s upcoming EP will not be the Monegasque’s first rodeo in the world of music. The 26-year-old had already taken over the Spotify charts last year when he released three back-to-back piano tracks called AUS23, MIA23 and MON23.

While Leclerc has mostly been exploring the online sectors offering his music to his fans, he has said there will be vinyl records of his debut EP that will be available only for a limited amount of time. The Monegasque even encouraged his followers to check out the music by preordering his EP.
