'Fell in love with same girl' - Ferrari star Charles Leclerc's friend reveals how they rivaled for a girl

The Monegasque F1 sensation Charles Leclerc is not just known for his impressive driving skills and striking appearance but also for an intriguing chapter from his younger years. Renowned for his chiselled features and athletic build, Leclerc has captivated the hearts of many fans, earning him a prestigious brand ambassador role with Giorgini Armani. 

Leclerc’s good looks and charisma have long made him a subject of admiration and even memes, particularly after his breakup with his former girlfriend, Charlotte Sine. But beneath the glamorous surface lies an interesting story of rivalry and friendship from Leclerc’s school days.

As recounted by his friend Joris in Charles Leclerc’s biography, the Ferrari star once competed with Joris for the affection of the same girl. The situation was so intense that the two friends nearly became enemies. However, the rivalry took a surprising turn when they both realized that neither would win her heart. This revelation marked the beginning of a strong and lasting friendship between the two.

According to Joris, their bond grew stronger over time, with the pair evolving from rivals to close friends. Despite Leclerc’s rise to fame as a Ferrari driver, he has maintained this friendship, regularly staying in touch with Joris and their shared group of friends.

Joris highlights that Leclerc remains a down-to-earth individual, discussing racing strategies and even keeping his friends updated on his professional life. When in Monaco, Leclerc makes a point of spending time with his friends, often enjoying dinners and casual outings with them.

Leclerc’s kindness extends beyond his relationships. An example of his generosity is reflected in an anecdote involving the Italian Grand Prix. When faced with multiple requests for tickets, Leclerc distributed all his available passes, including those he could have reserved for his own family. When his mother requested a ticket after he had exhausted his passes, Leclerc bought a grandstand seat for her, demonstrating his commitment to those he cares about.
