Charles Leclerc would certainly have mixed feelings about this past season. The Monegasque would’ve been disappointed to fade away early from the title challenge despite having a competitive car. However, he’d also be happy to narrowly beat Sergio Perez and finish P2 in the driver’s championship. But the Ferrari star did finish P1 and won THIS other championship.

After a stunning start to the season, Charles Leclerc found himself leading the WDC. He won 2 of the opening 3 races while standing on the podium for one. He seemed to be cruising through to the championship. However, Max Verstappen and Red Bull fought valiantly to trim the gap and eventually win the championship comfortably.

But the Ferrari driver did win another championship this year. It might not be the WDC but he beat Daniel Ricciardo to win the F1’s Grill the Grid championship. The Monegasque was surprised while receiving the award and claimed “Daniel was good”. 

He said, “Yeah, I revised quite a lot so I’m very, very happy about the test and very happy about it.”

Leclerc revealed that he put in hours of hard work for the challenge. Furthermore, he also told that he was good at school, which gave him the confidence to perform well.
