Charles Leclerc opens up on his unlucky Monaco GP streak

In his first-ever Monaco GP, Charles Leclerc crashed into Toro Rosso’s Brendon Hartley, and subsequently, retired. Moving to Ferrari in 2019 also did not favor him, as he was once again forced to retire. And despite securing a pole in 2021, the driver crashed during qualifying and did not take part in the race.

Although his luck in Monaco does not favor him, the Monegasque revealed he enjoys racing in his country. Leclerc said, ”It’s a dream. Since I’m a little child, I’ve been watching the Monaco GP, hoping and dreaming that one day I’ll be an F1 driver to race here. And now I’ve been doing it for 4 years.”
