<h3>Charles Leclerc 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
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 One and the first since?<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_Beretta">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 isn't ready and his much-experienced teammate, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sebastian Vettel,</a> will undermine him on a grand scale. However, he ended up coming out on top, claiming P4 in the 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 minimal design, with the color white dominating most parts of it.

<h3>Charles Leclerc: Stats and On-track Achievements</h3>
Charles Leclerc showcased his class and strength from the junior classes itself, 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. He 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.

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. As of the 2022 Imola GP, Leclerc is on course to clinch his first world championship title. But, with Max Verstappen desperately seeking a second title on the trot, the rivalry could well liven up in the coming weeks.
<h3>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, "I am stupid." 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.
<h3>Charles Leclerc: Net Worth</h3>
As per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/charles-leclerc-net-worth/">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, Charles has a Net Worth of $12 million. His performance in his debut season prompted Ferrari to sign him for a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ferrari-confirm-their-future-with-charles-leclerc-through-a-5-year-contract-and-fat-pay-cheque/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">massive five-year extension</a> that will see him at Maranello till the end of the 2024 season.

From <a href="https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/4026/formula-1-driver-salaries-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$3.5 million in 2019</a>, his salary shot up to a whopping <a 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 noreferrer">$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/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/?sh=61f84bb61182" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a> reported Leclerc to obtain an on-track salary of $12 million from Ferrari in 2021 and possibly beyond as well.
<h3><strong>Charles Leclerc : Endorsements</strong></h3>
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 href="https://www.richardmille.com/friends-and-partners/charles-leclerc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">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.

<h2><strong>Lando Norris 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
