Like many other sports, F1 has super-loyal fans as well. Despite going trophyless until now, Charles Leclerc has one of the most passionate fanbases. The Monegasque recently went the extra mile to reward a particular fan for his loyalty and kindness towards his sick girlfriend.

Charles recently appeared on a TV show called Ce Posta Per Te. He was invited by a woman who has multiple sclerosis and wanted to surprise her husband who takes care of her and is a huge fan of his. Charles presented the fan with a pair of signed gloves he used during the season, Ferrari hats, shirts, and 2 tickets for Disneyland.

Speaking on the show, the fan’s girlfriend said, “I’ve always come first for my boyfriend. but when Charles drives, that’s the only time I come second.”

Leclerc had some kind words for the fan as well. “I know what it means to travel a lot, but to do it for love in such a situation shows the good person you are. I know you admire the drivers but my admiration for you is bigger. for the person you are, the values you have. I’m touched, you 2 deserve all the happiness.”

“I don’t think money and notoriety have changed me. In the end, I’m the same person I have always been. This is also why I like to organize karting days, because I look for the simplicity and authenticity of the people who met me long before I got to F1. Then, of course, seeing so many fans who greet you and look at you is always a pleasure, and I can perceive the difference even if compared to 5 – 6 years ago. But I don’t think this has changed me.”
