Charles Leclerc, a prominent figure in the world of F1, recently had the honor of carrying the Olympic flame in Monaco. The Olympics, a highly anticipated global sporting event that occurs every four years, generates immense excitement. Leclerc, a six-time F1 Grand Prix winner, expressed his immense pride in carrying the Olympic flame during the event, which was attended by thousands of people. In an interview, the 26-year-old athlete spoke about the honor of being chosen as a torchbearer and emphasized the importance of the values of sports and the Olympics, such as respect and hard work.
This year’s Olympics will be hosted by Paris and will officially commence on July 26th. However, before the opening ceremony, the Olympic flame is making its way through various stages after leaving Greece. It is set to reach its final destination soon. While Leclerc had the opportunity to carry the flame in Monaco, he also took the time to discuss the driving styles of other F1 drivers, including Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. He provided insights into his own racing approach as well.
After nine rounds of the 2024 F1 season, it is evident that Max Verstappen is currently the leading driver in the championship, with Charles Leclerc closely following in second place. With 194 and 138 points respectively, the upcoming Spanish GP could potentially narrow the gap between these two exceptional drivers.
