From GP3 to Formula 2, it's obviously a step, but it's only a step on driving I would say. Here from Formula 2 to Formula 1, it's a huge step on driving because we have nearly 400 BHP more, with a lot more downforce. So it's a completely different car.

Charles Leclerc

The red car, even before I knew it was called Ferrari, was my obsession.

Being honest with myself is something I like. I am happy that I don't make excuses when I make a mistake. This is a good way to improve in the fastest way.

Charles Leclerc

Good Wit Way

You cannot deliver to your maximum if you're thinking 'if I do an error, it might close a door to somewhere' or whatever.

Charles Leclerc

Your You Where

Twitch is something I never thought I'd enjoy and I never saw myself doing. But actually I really enjoyed it. For the people that follow me, I think it's the closest you can get to the real me.

Charles Leclerc

You Witch Wit

In Formula One nothing is easy, but I can feel I'm taking the right steps, that I'm working in the proper way.

Charles Leclerc

Work Working Way

I think I am my own biggest critic, yeah.

Charles Leclerc

Yeah Think Thin

I believe what matters are facts and behaviours in our daily life rather than formal gestures.

Charles Leclerc

Life Than T

Unfortunately I lost my father quite early, it changes you. It changes you forever.

Charles Leclerc

Change You Unfortunately

I haven't got any friends on the track when I have my helmet on but whenever I take it off, I am a normal person at the end.

Charles Leclerc

Whenever Track Take

That first victory, before you get to it, it always seems so far ahead. You're not sure whether you can make it or not. Once you do, obviously it's a relief, but it also helps you to then deal better once you are in the lead of a race.

Charles Leclerc

You Whether Ways

I wake up in the morning thinking about victory, I go to sleep thinking about victory, so sometimes it might be hard. But I need to control myself more and, how can I say it politely? Just shut up instead of speaking on the radio.

Charles Leclerc

Time Morning Wake Up

We are in F1 and we want to fight against the best.

Charles Leclerc

Want T He

To be completely honest, I am obsessed with Formula 1 so in the off-season I would like to have just a few more races to still race in F1.

Charles Leclerc

Would Wit Us

F1 weekends are full of things and any time that you have five minutes, you need to use it as well as possible to calm down.

Charles Leclerc

Time You Well

Out of the car I am normal, calm. In the car I want to give my best. It is passion, when you are passionate about something you give everything. I change quite a lot when I am in the car.

Charles Leclerc

Change Car You

All simulators are going to be different compared to reality, that's how I see it.

Charles Leclerc

T See Rent

F1 always feels unreal until you arrive and get your first seat.

Charles Leclerc

Your You Ways

Nobody believes me, but to be honest the pressure is not something that I feel.

Charles Leclerc

To Be Honest Thing Thin

Every time a young driver comes into F1, the finger's pointed at him over his age. I don't think that's right.

Charles Leclerc

Time Age Young

I'm not someone that always feels confident about himself.

Charles Leclerc

Ways Way T

Of course, the cars are getting safer and safer but, when you are going at 340km/h, it can never be safe. This I knew from the start.

Charles Leclerc

Experience is always a plus, but I believe if you are good enough for an F1 seat, you are good enough from the year you arrive in F1.

Charles Leclerc

What I have always liked about Italians is the way they are serious when they need to be but know how to relax and have a laugh, too.

Charles Leclerc

Somehow when I am at the racetrack, I don't really realise what is happening and I just focus on the job.

Charles Leclerc

Certainly driving a Ferrari is, at the same time, a dream come true, a huge responsibility and a great honor.

Charles Leclerc

With less and less races people will want to take more risks.

Charles Leclerc

I think we always need to see the positive.

Charles Leclerc

You should be judged on your performances, not how long you've been around.

Charles Leclerc

At a track, it's different, there's pressure, things like this, so to be yourself is a bit different.

Charles Leclerc

At first, when I arrived at Ferrari, I was very intimidated by all the people there, by Ferrari itsel. This name is the biggest in motorsports.

Charles Leclerc

My mental strength was definitely a weakness back in the karting days, and I've worked hard on that to be as ready as possible for whenever I had the chance in F1.

Charles Leclerc

Since I was a child I've been looking up to Formula One. Dreaming to be a Formula One driver.

Charles Leclerc

From the beginning when you go into this sport, you know how dangerous it is. It will never be a safe sport.

Charles Leclerc

My dream as a child was being a world champion.

Charles Leclerc

When I think about it, it is quite crazy to race against people like Fernando Alonso, when I remember watching him from the balcony in Monaco.

Charles Leclerc

It will always remain a dangerous sport.

Charles Leclerc

From GP3 to Formula 2, it's obviously a step, but it's only a step on driving I would say. Here from Formula 2 to Formula 1, it's a huge step on driving because we have nearly 400 BHP more, with a lot more downforce. So it's a completely different car.

Charles Leclerc

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has a special place in my heart.

Charles Leclerc

There will always be some corners which are challenging and more dangerous than others.

Charles Leclerc

I did not expect to have, at the end of my first season, seven poles and two wins. This is crazy. I did not expect it.

Charles Leclerc

We need to keep working very hard.

Charles Leclerc

The moment I prefer is the moment I put on the helmet, that everyone is leaving the pit lane, that I'm alone with the car and there it feels good. You don't have any feelings anymore; it's just racing and this I enjoy.

Charles Leclerc

Before arriving at Ferrari, I had no idea how important it is for a Formula 1 team to be successful to have a successful relationship with their fuel and lubricants partner.

Charles Leclerc

Anyone who has the chance to drive for Ferrari will drive for Ferrari.

Charles Leclerc

It is vitally important for me to concentrate on myself, on the work that I have to do on the track and off it with the engineers, without really thinking about what people are expecting from me on the outside.

Charles Leclerc

Jules Bianchi was my racing godfather, and he spoke a lot to Ferrari about me.

Charles Leclerc

At the beginning, I didn't want to arrive at a big team like Ferrari and say: 'Ok, I want the car like this' - I just wanted to try and adapt to the car and then see if I wanted to make some changes.

Charles Leclerc

As soon as I signed with Ferrari it was clear to me that people expected big performances from me. Even though people were realistic enough to see that I was only starting my second season and that I still had a lot to learn.

Charles Leclerc

Formula 1 is such a big jump from Formula 2, and there are so many new things that you need to learn.

Charles Leclerc

My father, well he helped me with everything. From the start he was my biggest supporter and taught me a lot about his experience as a driver.
