Imagine you’re going about your life as usual, and all of a sudden, a flock of people comes around your apartment every day. They wait for you, continuously ring your house bell, and wait for you to come out so they can pounce upon you as soon as you plan to leave your house. Sounds tiring, right? Well, yes it is, and that has apparently been the recent life of the paddock’s heartthrob, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.
A glimpse of Charles sends everyone into a frenzy. But from a recent message shared on his Instagram, it seems that the fans have transcended the boundary between professional and personal. This comes a year after the driver was robbed of his $320,000 Richard Mille RM 67-02. Reportedly, the address of the Monte Carlo-based driver has been leaked since, which has massively hampered his personal life and also made him prey to the vicious robbery, which he chased fiercely in his Ferrari 488 Pista.

The driver, who’s absolutely adorable and takes all the time out for his fans, has decided to speak up and draw boundaries. In his story, the Monegasque said, “Hey everyone, For the past few months, my home address has somehow become public, leading to people gathering beneath my apartment, ringing my bell, and asking for pictures and autographs. While I’m always happy to be there for you and I truly appreciate your support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house.”
“I’ll make sure to stop for everyone when you see me on the streets or at the track, but I won’t be coming downstairs if you visit my home. Your support, both in person and on social media, means the world to me, but there is a boundary that should not be crossed. Happy Easter everyone”
The driver heartily acknowledged the support of his fans before sending a warning to those invading his privacy. As a celebrity driver, it must be a privilege to enjoy a personal life. And now that his boundaries weren’t respected, it’s only fair and justified on his part before he is forced to take any strict actions.
The police report gives relief to Charles Leclerc
With a luxurious lifestyle, Formula 1 drivers are vulnerable to organized attacks by thieves, and Charles Leclerc isn’t the only example. Previously, Lando Norris and Sebastian Vettel, among others, have been the victims. However, only the Monegasque seems to have found some respite in his case.
