🇲🇨 Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc is a Monégasque racing driver who competes in Formula 1 for Ferrari. Born in Monaco, he came through the junior single-seater ranks before securing the GP3 Series title and then the Formula 2 championship in 2017, achievements that underpin his single championship credited in this record and that paved the way for his promotion to Formula 1. Since joining Ferrari, Leclerc has established himself as one of the grid's leading drivers, known for his pace over a single lap and his standing as a home favorite at the Monaco Grand Prix.[1]

Across 203 career starts, Leclerc has taken 22 wins and 70 podiums, figures that reflect a driver who has been consistently near the front of the field for nearly a decade with Ferrari. His Racer Rating of 7,560 places him seventh among active drivers on a scale where the sport's elite sit between roughly 10,000 and 11,500, indicating a strong and stable level of performance without quite reaching the very top tier. In the 2026 season, Leclerc has taken 14 wins and 18 podiums from 22 rounds, sitting third in the standings, a return that underscores his continued status as one of Ferrari's key drivers and a leading championship contender.[2]
