This weekend, the Formula One paddock visits the principality of Monaco [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_Grand_Prix] for the Grand Prix. Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] driver Charles LeClerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/] will be hoping for a good result on the street circuit. This race is even more special to him, because it is his home race. During an interview, LeClerc’s interview ahead of the GP weekend was interrupted by Renault [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/] driver Daniel Ricciardo as a small prank. The interviewer had asked LeClerc whether he had a chance of winning his home race. As the same time, Daniel Ricciardo was passing by behind him and cheekily shook his head. In the meantime, LeClerc admitted that he would push for the win, before noticing the grinning Ricciardo behind him. Ferrari have not had the best of times this season, and Mercedes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes]‘ five back-to-back 1-2 finishes is proof of it. Their only chance of winning is if one or preferably both cars are on the front row and the Mercedes duo are kept behind. In addition to that, the strategy department must not let anything slip at all. 

Charles LeClerc's interview with Formula One had an unexpected intruder in the
form of Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo, who decided to have some fun

The most successful champion has been <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with five titles for the Italian outfit.

Their current line-up for the 2021 season consists of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/">Carlos Sainz jr.</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/">Charles Leclerc</a>. Leclerc is a graduate from the Ferrari Driver?s Academy and made his Ferrari debut in 2019. Carlos comes from McLaren F1 team where Daniel Ricciardo will replace him.

<h2>How much is the Ferrari F1 team worth?</h2>

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Charles Leclerc 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Charles Leclerc is what Ferrari calls the future. Signing a contract with the team till 2024, he has certainly turned heads at the Maranello-based outfit by showing them what he is capable of. He made his debut in 2018 for the Alfa Romeo-Sauber team. Coming from Monaco, he is only the fourth driver from the principality to make the drive in Formula 1 and the first since <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_Beretta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivier Beretta,</a> who made his debut in 1994. He began to impress everyone right off the bat.

There were a lot of doubts regarding Ferrari's signing for 2019. Many people suspected that he wasn't ready and that his much-experienced teammate, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>, would undermine him on a grand scale. However, he ended up coming out on top, claiming P4 in the Drivers' Championship ahead of the German.

The very next season, despite Ferrari's struggles, Leclerc continued to carry the outfit on his shoulders all by himself. In the process, Leclerc also dominated against his championship-winning teammate for the second straight season, who later quit driving for Ferrari. The Monegasque, however, is facing a stern challenge from his new teammate, Carlos Sainz.

Leclerc also has one of the coolest helmets on the grid despite opting for a minimal design, with the color white dominating most parts of it.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Charles Leclerc: Stats and On-track Achievements</h2>
Charles Leclerc showcased his class and strength from the junior classes, winning the 2016 GP3 Series and the 2017 Formula 2 Championships. He was personally picked up by Sergio Marchionne.

While in the 2018 season, his best finish was P6, his performance in the 2019 season was on another level. Leclerc took 7 pole positions and 2 race wins, including the highly prestigious Italian Grand Prix at Monza, giving the Tifosi something to smile about. He was ready to challenge Sebastian Vettel from the very first day, very eager to dethrone his number 1 status. He did manage to do that, eventually. Leclerc also beat Vettel by an even bigger margin in 2020. However, in 2021, the lead Ferrari driver had a shocking defeat to his new teammate, Sainz. After an intense battle, Sainz pipped Leclerc in the driver's standings after an astounding podium at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.

[caption id="attachment_2092554" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2092554 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-09-02T150835Z_1926457669_UP1EJ921628MH_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ITALY.jpg" alt="Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc" width="1920" height="1312" /> Formula One F1 - Italian Grand Prix - Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Monza, Italy - September 2, 2023.

Over the course of 85 race starts, Leclerc has scored 4 wins, 16 podiums, and racked up 646 points. He finished fourth in the Drivers' Championship in 2019. Leclerc also finished in P8 in 2020, as opposed to his teammate's P13. And lately, in 2021, Leclerc almost out-scored his teammate but ended up losing the lead at the Abu Dhabi GP.

The 2022 season was Leclerc's best yet as he went on to claim 3 race wins over the course of the season. He was level on points with Sergio Perez at 290 points each heading into the final race of the 2022 season. The Ferrari driver pulled off an overtake on Perez who started ahead of him in P2. In doing so, he secured 2nd place in the Drivers' Championship as well as P2 for Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship. The 2023 season witnessed a downward trajectory in terms of performance as he finished 5th in the Drivers' Championship with 206 points, 6 points ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz who finished 7th. However, it was Sainz who achieved Ferrari's only victory in the season.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Best Moments of Charles Leclerc</h3>
One of the most hilarious moments of Leclerc's career is his team radio exchange following a shunt at Baku during qualifying in 2019. He yelled, <em>"I am stupid."</em> Since then, a lot of fans would often bring up this radio message every time the Monegasque puts his Ferrari into the wall.

There is also the Banana costume he showed up in during one of his live Twitch streams which subsequently garnered him an insane amount of popularity. In the 2019 season, Leclerc became the youngest driver to receive the FIA pole position trophy for the most qualifying poles. He won the Crypto.com Overtake of the Year Award for his last-lap overtake of Sergio Perez at the inaugural Las Vegas GP in 2023.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Charles Leclerc: Net Worth</h2>
As per <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/charles-leclerc-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, Charles Leclerc has a Net Worth of $40 million. His performance in his debut season prompted Ferrari to sign him for a <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ferrari-confirm-their-future-with-charles-leclerc-through-a-5-year-contract-and-fat-pay-cheque/" target="_self" rel="noopener">massive five-year extension</a> that will see him at Maranello till the end of the 2024 season.

From <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/4026/formula-1-driver-salaries-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$3.5 million in 2019</a>, his salary shot up to a whopping <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/03/30/how-much-are-f1-drivers-earning-in-2020-and-should-their-fees-be-capped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$10 million per annum</a>, in 2020. The rising trend followed into the 2021 season as well. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2023/11/29/formula-1s-highest-paid-drivers-2023/?sh=493528e5463f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a> reported Leclerc to obtain an on-track salary of $14 million from Ferrari in 2023 and an additional $2 million through bonuses.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Leclerc : Endorsements</strong></h2>
Leclerc is largely backed by Scuderia Ferrari and the Ferrari Driver's Academy. Though he is still in the early stages of his career, his age will give him a chance to earn more sponsors and backers.

Leclerc was also sponsored by <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.richardmille.com/friends-and-partners/charles-leclerc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Mille</a> in his junior days. He is destined to attract the interest of a lot of sponsors who would be looking to take advantage of his long-term Ferrari deal in order to establish their own name.

In May 2020, Charles Leclerc <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://twitter.com/Charles_Leclerc/status/1262352802803789826?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced his partnership</a> with the Italian luxury fashion brand Giorgio Armani. Leclerc is the brand ambassador for Armani and its Made to Measure Line. He also mostly prefers using Ray-Ban sunglasses amid the American-Italian company's partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. In 2022, EA Sports made Leclerc their first-ever F1 ambassador.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Personal life</h2>
Leclerc was born and brought up in Monte Carlo, Monaco, one of the most elite places on the earth. However, despite growing up in one of the richest principalities around the world, Leclerc didn't possess an abundance of wealth. He had positive influences from his father–Hervé Leclerc, and former F1 driver Jules Bianchi during his childhood. Hervé was a former race car driver himself and competed in Formula 3 during the 80s and 90s. Sadly, the Monegasque lost those close to him in tragic circumstances.

His close friend and godfather Jules Bianchi passed away following a heavy crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. A few years later in 2017, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.autosport.com/f2/news/130319/leclerc-emotional-pole-was-for-late-father" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leclerc's father passed away</a> following a prolonged battle with an undisclosed illness.

There were also speculations that Leclerc could be a blood relative of Charles Sobhraj and Marie Andre Leclerc, the French serial killer duo, but, the truth is, No! Charles isn't related to them in any way.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Leclerc: Car Collection</strong></h2>

Apart from these two Ferrari beauties, Leclerc also owns a Ferrari Roma and a Ferrari 812 Superfast. Another prized possession of his is the Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta. The personalized white model boasts a 6.5L V12 which can generate more than 800HP. The crown jewel in his collection though is the Ferrari SF90, his F1 car from the 2019 season in which he crossed the chequered flag to take the first F1 win of his career. Apart from the Ferrari cars, the Monegasque also owns numerous other cars, including a Land Rover Discovery, a Rolls Royce Wraith, a Jaguar XF, a McLaren GT, and the $3 million Bugatti Chiron.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe “Joe” Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at the Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera <em>A Única Mulher</em>.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the words <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

Daniel Ricciardo boasts of a unique collection of cars. Being one of the best-paid drivers on the grid, Ricciardo has splurged the cash on exquisite sports cars. He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger's garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport.
