Charles Leclerc and his new Ferrari Competizione

When Charles Leclerc had signed for Ferrari to star in their Formula 1 Championship campaign in 2019, the Tifosis all considered the young racer to be their new Championship hope. Despite the Scuderia being one of the oldest and the most successful F1 teams in history, they have hit a rough patch ever since 2007 when Kimi Raikkonen brought the Maranello team their last ever F1 World Drivers’ title.

But unfortunately, five years have gone since Charles Leclerc announced his association with Ferrari and the Championship titles have not rolled in yet. The fans have alleged that the Italian outfit has not been able to construct a Championship-worthy car, but even though Charles and his teammate Carlos Sainz drive the same machine, Carlos outshone Charles in 2023. Carlos became the only non-Red Bull driver to win a Grand Prix in the recently-ended season.

Now, the question has turned from ‘when Charles Leclerc would win Ferrari their first World Championship title in decades’ to ‘whether the Tifosis need to shift their Drivers’ title hopes from Charles to Carlos’. But amidst these controversies, Charles seemed to be in quite the mood as he swerved down the streets of his home country Monaco in a brand-new Ferrari racecar.

A car blog has unearthed the latest Ferrari model that Charles Leclerc was spotted driving in Monaco

As Charles Leclerc was spotted driving his brand new Ferrari–which he likely got after the F1 2023 season ended–in Monaco, his videos reached the internet and everyone got curious as to what machine the 25-year-old had purchased for himself. And then, TheSupercarBlog announced that Charles is now the proud owner of a Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta, which even has ’16’ (Charles race number) mentioned on its body.

The car blog also reported that Charles Leclerc already has a Ferrari 488 Pista and a Lamborghini Huracan STO of his own. But now, he had added another beauty to his automobile collection, probably in the spirit of ushering in 2024 on a good note.

In other news, Ferrari announced that they will launch their 2024 car on Tuesday 13 February. With this, the Scuderia became the first F1 team to confirm when they will reveal their challenger for next year. Joining Ferrari, Sauber (recently renamed as Stake F1 Team) and Williams Racing have also announced their car reveal dates. They will be unveiling their 2024 challengers on February 4. But the suspense still remains since Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, and the other teams have chosen to stay shut about their car unveiling dates for the next season.
