Last year, Formula One launched the ‘F1 Tracks’ playlist. This playlist would be available on music streaming apps such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. Since its release, F1 Tracks is updated on a weekly basis.
According to the official F1 website, the songs on the playlist are “Filtered according to four key categories – Pace, Mechanical, Spirit, and Fan and will produce a bespoke and dynamic playlist, which embodies F1.”

Meanwhile, when he’s not preparing playlists, Leclerc has been busy preparing for the start of the 2020 F1 season. The Ferrari driver took the new SF1000 for a spin, around the city of Maranello.
Thereafter, he hit the track in Mugello, alongside his teammate Sebastian Vettel for pre-season testing. After impressing in his first season at Scuderia, Leclerc will be looking to dethrone Lewis Hamilton as the Drivers’ champion this season.
