Charles Leclerc is widely known for his willingness to explore new endeavors. In the recent race in Saudi Arabia, the driver achieved a podium finish, showcasing his exceptional skills. Formula 1 drivers are often expected to excel in various sports, including golf. However, Leclerc humbly admits that he is not a proficient golfer, dismissing any claims of his expertise in the sport.
Leclerc is renowned for his versatility, whether it be playing a tune on the piano or maneuvering through high-speed corners at over 200 miles per hour. He is always eager to acquire new knowledge and skills. However, when it comes to playing eighteen holes on a golf course, Leclerc has yet to master the game.
When questioned about his golfing abilities, Leclerc humorously stated, “I carefully select the pictures to make myself appear professional.” This lighthearted comment emphasizes his self-awareness regarding his lack of skill in golf. He has been spotted playing the sport before but openly admits that he is far from being good at it. He even received a suggestion to learn from his teammate, who is recognized for his impressive golfing prowess.
Leclerc and his teammate are anticipated to be strong contenders against their formidable rivals. However, despite possessing the second-fastest car in 2024, Leclerc finished significantly behind the dominant competitor at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic and believes that Ferrari will soon be able to challenge Red Bull.
Although Leclerc acknowledges the substantial gap between Ferrari and Red Bull, he is confident that the Scuderia will eventually narrow it. The engineers in Maranello are tirelessly working to close this gap and provide Leclerc and his teammate with competitive machinery to rival the Red Bulls. As they prepare for the upcoming race in Melbourne, the team is determined to secure top positions and bring back the glory of the iconic Italian team, putting an end to Red Bull’s current dominance.
