Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari Formula 1 driver, has been seen driving his aesthetic Ferrari 488 in the streets of Monaco. Leclerc being a Monegasque himself, lives there and is often seen taking his toys out of his garage now and then. His latest eye-catching appearance has come around a hotel where he can be seen stepping out of his car.
Charles Leclerc is considered one of the most prolific racers of the current Formula 1 grid, and it is believed that Ferrari also reckons him to be a World Champion in the making. Being a Ferrari driver has its perks, and it is quite visible from the various array of cars that the 25-year-old has showcased since signing with the team.
However, while Leclerc has got everything he could ask for, the 2023 Formula 1 season has not gone as planned for him. He came into the season high, hoping to challenge for the World Championship, but after nine rounds, all his positivity disappeared in a puff of smoke. He is currently a disappointing seventh in the standings.
The SF-23 has several gremlins on it, and Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have been very vocal about it. The latter has still managed to put in some spirited performances on occasion, but when it comes to his teammate, he has just had a tough time getting to grips with the car and trying to put it through the wringer consistently.
Charles Leclerc needs a solid run of performances to get his mojo back

While Charles Leclerc has so far not managed to perform at his very best, everyone is aware of the caliber that he has got as an F1 driver. He needs a consistent run of performances to get back in form and start putting some pressure on the Mercedes and the Aston Martin Formula 1 team drivers.
The ongoing campaign has still not reached its halfway point, and Leclerc has got several races on his hands to start closing the gap to the drivers that are ahead of him in the Drivers Championship. As things stand, he has so far managed 54 points, and the driver ahead of him in the Championship is George Russell, who has currently got 65 points to his name.
The upcoming Grand Prix will take place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, and considering that it is a fast-paced free-flowing circuit, it would provide Charles Leclerc with a really good opportunity to drive his SF-23 on the limit. Moreover, it will help him ascertain where he is compared to his competition.
