Charles Leclerc said he was thinking about his late father in the closing stages of the Monaco Grand Prix...
Charles Leclerc became the first Monegasque F1 driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix since Louis Chiron in 1931.
With the drivers having changed tyres under the red flag on the first lap, the importance of holding onto track position resulted in none of the leading drivers making a pit stop –Speaking after the chequered flag, Leclerc revealed in the cooldown room that he had started to struggle with his emotions with two laps to go in the race – to the point where he had to talk himself out of getting distracted as his misty eyes started to obstruct his view.
“It means a lot, obviously – it’s the race that made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver one day. “He’s given everything for me to be here. It was a dream of ours for me to race here and to win, so it’s unbelievable.”Leclerc’s brother Arthur, also a racing driver and part of Ferrari’s driver academy, said he wished Hervé could have seen the realisation of the Leclerc family dream.“I just wish my father was here as well to see this moment.
