TikTok, one of the world’s most famous social media applications, has often stood out as the primary entertainment zone for Formula One teams like Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Mercedes. In fact, in 2021, pretty much every race weekend had the teams pushing out a TikTok video, featuring their respective drivers, including Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel. However, unfortunately, Ferrari’s shining star, Charles Leclerc, was never a fan of it.

Well, it looks like his reluctance to join TikTok has finally ended! Yes, you heard it right – The Monegasque has officially made it to what is indeed the most successful entertainment app. What’s interesting is that this news comes barely weeks after his former teammate, Vettel, made it to Instagram in a shocking turn of events. Hence, 2022 has certainly been a year of surprises for the entire F1 fandom.
