A biography for Charles Leclerchasn’t been written yet.
“Somehow when I am at the racetrack, I don't really realise what is happening and I just focus on the job.”
“All simulators are going to be different compared to reality, that's how I see it.”
“Jules Bianchi was my racing godfather, and he spoke a lot to Ferrari about me.”
“I'm not someone that always feels confident about himself.”
“I would love to drive a MotoGP but I'm not sure Ferrari agrees.”
“It will always remain a dangerous sport.”
“I have a mentality that is really taking off all the pressure.”
“My mental strength was definitely a weakness back in the karting days, and I've worked hard on that to be as ready as possible for whenever I had the chance in F1.”
“The Sochi circuit can be challenging, featuring a combination of high speed straights and lots of corners, especially in the last sector.”
“The red car, even before I knew it was called Ferrari, was my obsession.”
“We need to keep working and I am pretty sure the results will come.”
“I analyse everything I do to see if I can do better, that's how I grew over the years.”
“I did not expect to have, at the end of my first season, seven poles and two wins. This is crazy. I did not expect it.”
“Obviously being third in the Formula 1 world championship would be crazy.”
“From GP3 to Formula 2, it's obviously a step, but it's only a step on driving I would say. Here from Formula 2 to Formula 1, it's a huge step on driving because we have nearly 400 BHP more, with a lot more downforce. So it's a completely different car.”
“Every time you go back to winning, or to the good results, you take back the confidence in yourself and you feel a lot better.”
“I just need to give the best of myself and work on myself.”
“I don't like to hide the errors I make. Any time I'm doing a mistake, I'm just saying it.”
“I've always been very hard on myself, it's the way that works with me.”
“At a track, it's different, there's pressure, things like this, so to be yourself is a bit different.”
