F1 Fans Pity ‘Cursed’ Charles Leclerc as Rain Threat Looms Over Monaco GP
Follow Us
Charles Leclerc had a race to forget in Spain, as he was forced to retire because of a power unit failure. As a result, he lost his championship lead to Max Verstappen, who is now 6 points ahead of the Monegasque. To add to his misery, F1 moves to Monaco, a place where Leclerc’s record is poor.
Leclerc grew up in the streets of Monaco and he certainly knows the nook and corners of the circuit. However, transforming his know-how during the Monaco GP has been a difficult task for him. His record in Formula 1 at his home? DNF, DNF, and DNF.
