Most F1 drivers have some hobbies away from the track that they enjoy engaging in. For Lando Norris, it is definitely swinging golf clubs. Lewis Hamilton has found himself developing a keen interest as well. For Max Verstappen, it has to be FIFA, given how he was once among the top 100 players in the world. As far as Charles Leclerc is concerned, all we knew, until now, was his love for streaming sim racing. However, the Monegasque recently caught all his fans, including us, by surprise as he took a day off to enjoy watching some tennis matches at his prestigious local tournament.

The 2023 Rolex Monte Carlo Masters marks the return of Novak Djokovic after he skipped the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open. The tournament will, however, miss its most successful player Rafael Nadal who sustained an injury during the season starter Australian Open. Another big name ready to miss out is former World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, who is nursing an injury since bowing out in the Miami Open semi-finals against Jannik Sinner.
