charles getting interviewed today

"it's the team that believed in me when i needed help to allow me to get to where i am now [...] being able to continue with all those people, with the common goal of being a world champion, it's something special" ❤️

[clara @leclercsletters]

charles said other teams approached him and as soon as he shut his mouth, lando started to ask questions (even covering his mouth) and gabi got closer

THESE ARE A BUNCH OF GOSSIPERS 😭😭😭😭

"a huge thank you for all the support you give me. this week in monaco is always unique for me. i’ve received lots of videos from children in schools, from people sending me their support and i can assure you it really warms my heart and makes me want to win again this sunday even more. so thank you very much for the support and we’ll do everything to put the monégasque flag back on the top step of the podium on sunday. thank you."

WHAT DID CHARLES DO 😭😭😭

[clara @leclercsletters]

"were there other options?"

🆑️: there were, yes.

"can you tell us who?"

🆑️: no, i'm not gonna who. they can say it if they want. but yeah, for me ferrari was always the choice

[clara @leclercsletters]

LH: i'm charles leclerc

🆑️: no, you're not

😭

"who's more likely to appreciate food the most?"

LH: can i just say something?

🆑️: well, of course

LH: you eat really plain food. there's no spices. i think you need to come to the caribbean, man.

🆑️: no, no, no. i'm not gonna eat spices before getting into an f1 car

LH: it gives you fire

😭😭😭

[clara @leclercsletters]

"you are clearly monaco’s most celebrated sporting son — so much so that la rascasse, one of the most iconic corners on the circuit, now has an entire bar dedicated to you and your career. did you have any creative input in that? and how does it feel to have your legacy cemented in Monaco in ways like this?"

🆑️: obviously the idea didn’t come from me. SBM approached me and said “We are thinking about creating something in monaco with regards to sports, racing specifically, and doing something about you would make sense — what do you think we could put in La Rascasse?”, that is where i became a little more involved, helping them identify the key moments to feature.

it was a nice process. unfortunately i haven’t had the time to go yet, but i have seen the pictures and it looks super nice. i have always dreamed of being in the position i am in today, and to see that a piece of my career will stay in la rascasse permanently — that is an honour for me.

love how it’s just a fact of life that charles absolutely loves sleeping

[clara @leclercsletters]

LH: he (charles) is kinda like a sloth

🆑️: i don't know what a sloth is

LH: a sloth

🆑️: what is that?

LH: sleeps like 22 hours a day

charles about calling the canadian gp his worst weekend of his career:

"looking back, i think my words got a little ahead of my thoughts. finishing fourth isn't disastrous. we still picked up some good points there"

fred's plan is completed 😭

"it's really cool to see charles renewing. he's been there a long time and had a lot of success there and obviously very hungry for more. i don't know about you guys, but i only see charles in red and it's really nice to see him renewing, especially before his home race. must be very nice"

🤏🏼🤏🏼🤏🏼

[clara @leclercsletters]

"to start this interview, i’d like you to apologise to the viewers, because two years ago i think you made an entire population cry. are you aware of that?"

🆑️: yes, it’s true that when i talk about it, especially when i spoke with my friends, my family, and the monégasques who stopped me in monaco after that win, they all told me they were extremely emotional. and it’s true that it was, and still is, one of the most beautiful moments of my life. knowing that we were all in the same emotional state and that i had so much support was really, really beautiful, and it motivates me even more to try to do it again this year.
