Charles Leclerc: chasing the ultimate dream with Ferrari

Charles Leclerc: chasing the ultimate dream with Ferrari

After winning his home race for the first time in 2024, Charles Leclerc has just one more item to tick off his Formula 1 bucket list.
But can the Monegasque and Ferrari still become World Champions together?
Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Leclerc reflects on that special victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, the reasons behind Ferrari’s struggles since then and why he’s confident of future success with the team.
Also on the agenda, Charles talks about having Lewis Hamilton as his teammate in 2025, what he’ll miss about Carlos Sainz, how ‘life-changing’ Leo the Dachsund is keeping him on his toes, and much more.
