Charles Marc Hervé Perceval Leclerc, commonly known as Charles Leclerc, is a racing driver currently competing with Scuderia Ferrari in F1. He was born on 16 October 1997 in Monte Carlo, the capital of the Principality of Monaco. He’s a native of the small principality, which has the status of a tax haven. He is the second of three sons of the late Hervé, his father, and Pascale, his mother. The former was also a racing driver.

Charles’ talent was always apparent, and he proved his credentials with a successful karting and junior career. In 2016, he won GP3 with a healthy margin over Alex Albon. Next season, he won F2 in a very dominant fashion – the runner-up, Artem Markelov, was 72 points behind. He was given a seat at Sauber in 2018, with a view to a potential Ferrari seat.

He impressed in his debut season, far outshining his more experienced teammate, Marcus Ericsson. He had a bit of a slow start, but in Baku, he turned heads with a P6. Soon, the stars aligned for his ‘promotion’ to Ferrari. He began his career with fifth place at the Australian Grand Prix. In the next race in Bahrain, he took the pole, fastest lap, and looked set for a win until an engine issue curtailed his race. But he still took his first podium.

The wait for his first win went on until Belgium. On a tragic weekend, with the death of Antoine Hubert hanging over the motorsport world, Leclerc won his first race. He doubled his tally in the next race, Monza, which was Ferrari’s home Grand Prix. At the end of the season, he had beaten his four-time world champion teammate, Sebastian Vettel, in the standings. Unfortunately, 2020 and 2021 were not successful. It was because Ferrari did not have good machinery.

2022 was better, but ultimately disappointing. It started swimmingly but soon unraveled. He made a mistake in Imola and finished sixth. The next race, in Miami, he gave Verstappen a run for his money but fell short. The next three races were disasters – with two mechanical retirements, and one glaring strategic mistake ruining his day(s). In France, he made another mistake.

This spelled the end of his championship challenge, and he eventually finished 146 points behind Verstappen. This was mostly because the package fell off drastically, but mistakes from him and the team also contributed to it. In 2023 things didn’t go to plan. In the first three races, he retired twice and finished seventh in the other race. The package doesn’t look nearly as competitive as the Red Bull RB-19. The Monegasque driver failed to even win a single race this season.

Leclerc is an extremely talented, and popular F1 driver. In such a situation, people want to know about his personal life, his wealth, and other details. This article is tailor-made for fans who want to find out all about Charles Leclerc’s net worth, F1 salary, endorsements, etc.
