No, not Lewis Hamilton and it won't be Max Verstappen either. To find out who is the ideal for Charles Leclerc, we have to delve much deeper into time and history.
The still very young Scuderia Ferrari star has never had a real role model, but to this day he looks up to two people:
“Many people in the field have a great role model in Ayrton Senna, who is a true legend. And not only in terms of motorsport, that's why I like him and admire his work. I really wanted to meet him and spend some time with him. Unfortunately, that can't happen anymore, but when we were racing in Brazil, I visited the Senna Foundation in Interlagos. I looked at his cars, his helmets that he raced in... I was really moved by it, I can't deny that. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a racer, especially an F1 driver, and that took up all my time, I hardly saw the races, I don't have many memories of Ayrton.
"My second hero is, without a doubt, who: you all know the relationship I had with Jules Bianchi," Leclerc reminded a relative of the tragically deceased racer.
