Leclerc: "I look up to two drivers..."

No, it won't be Lewis Hamilton and it won't be Max Verstappen either. To find out who represents the ideal for Charles Leclerc, we need to dig much deeper into time and history.

Scuderia Ferrari's still very young star has never had a true role model, but there are two people he still looks up to:

"Many in the field have Ayrton Senna as a great role model, who is a true legend. And not just in motorsport, that’s why I admire him and idolize his work. I would have loved to meet him and spend some time together. Unfortunately, that can no longer happen, but when we raced in Brazil, I visited the Senna Foundation in Interlagos. I looked at his cars, his helmets that he raced in... I got very emotional, I won’t deny it. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a racing driver, specifically an F1 driver; it consumed all my time, I barely watched races, I don’t have many memories of Ayrton.

And my other hero is not even a question of who: you all know the bond I have with Jules Bianchi." - Leclerc reminded us of the tragically young driver who passed away.
