Charles Leclerc is one of the most promising young racers in the Formula 1 grid of today. The 26-year-old has already won 5 Grands Prix in his time in the pinnacle of motorsports, and commands a high-paying job as a racer for the legacy F1 team of Scuderia Ferrari. But besides his racing career, Charles Leclerc also dabbles in a bit of music as he released his three piano records last year and they were named after some of the racing circuits where he had been in–AUS23, MON23, and MIA23.

With his brilliant skills on the piano, Charles Leclerc stole the hearts of numerous fans as his Spotify numbers went off the charts. The Monegasque was bombarded with requests for a full EP since his followers could not get enough of his music with just three records being released. And then, during the 2023 season break, Charles Leclerc finally visited the music studio with French pianist Sofiane Pamart to create his first-ever EP which has been released recently.

‘DREAMERS’ is the brainchild of Charles Leclerc and the EP features 4 piano recordings. The Monegasque has matched the skills of the professional pianist Sofiane Pamart as the two of them have created beautiful music for the fans to enjoy. And Leclerc also hinted he has even more creative projects on his mind.

Sometimes when I play the piano I get frustrated because I get limited in what I can actually do. My mind is really creative, but my hands can't follow.

Charles Leclerc is soon to partner with Lewis Hamilton who has a similar passion of music

Formula 1 racers are often viewed as ultra-competitive individuals with very less time to focus on their passions outside of racing since the schedule takes up most of their time. But Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have successfully ventured into the world of music despite being at the top of their F1 game. Hamilton has featured on famed popstar Christina Aguilera’s track called ‘Pipe’ where he rapped a verse under the pseudonym of XNDA.

Lewis Hamilton made a shocking decision to shift to Ferrari after twelve years at Mercedes in search of his eighth World Championship title. And he will be paired up with Charles Leclerc who already has a multi-year contract with the Scuderia as they signed him on during January 2024. Whether Lewis and Charles will collaborate on a music project as Ferrari teammates remains to be seen.

In other news, Charles Leclerc has talked about the way him and Sociane Pamart were involved with his EP ‘DREAMERS’ during the 2023 season break. Before releasing the songs, Leclerc commented via X that he had loved every second of the moments which led to the creation of the beautiful EP.
