Charles Leclerc has been one of the heartthrob drivers of the F1 paddock lately. Many fan girls just like him for his charming good looks. Often, fans love to come and have a picture with their favorite drivers like Leclerc. Though, back at the 2022 Australian GP, one fan girl just took it too far with the Monegasque driver.

According to some archive footage on Twitter, a fan girl was getting a picture with Leclerc, whilst holding his arm. But, after that, she tried to quickly give Charles a kiss on the cheek. To this, the Ferrari driver instantly backed off and dodged the girl’s advances. The girl too walked away, trying to make it seem as normal, but it didn’t look like it.

Charles might have felt that the girl invaded his privacy and personal space, despite not knowing him. Drivers often like to interact with fans. But such gestures may be crossing the boundaries at times. With this archival footage from last year’s Australian GP, fans have erupted into a morality debate, labeling the girl as “disgusting”.

Many feel only “if the roles were reversed in this situation”, what would everyone be saying about Charles then? Personal violations like this may cause a lot of problems if it was a converse situation, involving a male fan and a female athlete.

F1 Fans Spark Morality Debate on Twitter about the “Disgusting” Fan Girl with Charles Leclerc

As usual, folks on social media will react to anything and everything and this archive footage of Charles Leclerc with this fan girl ain’t an exception. F1 Twitter has erupted into a debate about how wrong or right the girl was. Mostly, fans are blaming the girl for crossing the line and disrespecting Leclerc’s personal space.

Of course, Leclerc is a human too, regardless of being a famous athlete. So, if he does not wish to get kissed by a random fan; one should respect his privacy. Fans have the same overwhelming opinion, citing how social media would break down if the roles were reversed.

Besides this morality debate, there is also the fact that Charles Leclerc was in a committed relationship at this point in time. So, certainly, the Monegasque driver ain’t done anything wrong to dodge the fan girl’s advances.
