Charles Leclerc Personal Life:

He shared a strong bond with the late racer Jules Bianchi. Tragically, his father passed away just days before Leclerc’s significant victory in the 2017 Baku Formula 2 round.

Charles is multilingual, fluent in French, Italian, and English. He’s flexible about the pronunciation of his name in English and has a casual religious stance, believing in God but not actively participating in religious rituals.
