The Ferrari star, 24, has aced the start to this new Formula One era with two victories in the opening three races. Leclerc’s arrival is catching people’s interest — but for those who have followed his career it is not unexpected. Unlike those who move to Monaco for the tax benefits, Leclerc was actually born in Monte Carlo. Leclerc’s story is also laced with tragedy, which has shaped his character. Just four days later, Leclerc won the feature race in F2 in Azerbaijan. Now Leclerc does not need to overstretch — as we saw in Australia. Vettel crashed in the race and Stroll finished outside the points as Aston Martin became the ONLY team not to score in the opening three races of the season.
