What the Leclerc Family Story Teaches Us

A Formula 3 driver father who died at 60, when his son was on the verge of breaking into Formula 1. A homemaker mother. Two brothers, one a tennis professional and one a Formula 2 driver. A godfather who was himself a Formula 1 driver and died at 25 from injuries sustained in a Grand Prix crash. From one Monégasque household came one of the most-watched modern Ferrari drivers — racing as if to honour both his father and his godfather.
