Charles Leclerc

Ferrari had the Monegasque start his Formula One career with Sauber in 2018, to whom the Ferrari team supplied engines. Leclerc had earned his spot on the grid after climbing up the ladder and winning the GP3 title and then the Formula 2 crown. The driver only stayed with Sauber for one year before getting a seat with Ferrari, alongside Sebastian Vettel. He presented himself as a worthy teammate to the four-time world champion, winning two Grands Prix in 2019, and then won three more times in the 2022 season, when Carlos Sainz was his teammate. More podiums and race wins would then follow in 2024, where Ferrari was runner-up in the Constructors Championship, behind Mclaren but ahead of Red Bull. 2025 was a tougher season, but Leclerc will be hoping to return to winning ways in 2026.
