Does Leclerc want to go for the 'Triple Crown'? The Monegasque answers!
- Cas van de Kleut
Charles Leclerc has won the two most special Grands Prix (from his point-of-view) this year: his home race in Monaco and Ferrari's home Grand Prix in Monza. After his victory in Monza, the Monegasque was asked what his secret is for these victories.
"Yeah, two very different tracks," Leclerc began. "But it feels good to be winning on those two tracks. That for sure means more, Monaco as a Monegasque and here as a Ferrari driver. So yeah, both are a very, very special feeling and I wouldn't want to choose in between them, as the two are very, very special."
So having won the Monaco Grand Prix earlier this year, Leclerc could have another special achievement in the future. For example, he could win the 'Triple Crown', the unofficial achievement for when you win the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indy500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The only driver to achieve this so far is Graham Hill.

Does Leclerc have ambitions for that too? "I'm really interested in doing Le Mans one day. Indianapolis is not something that I've been particularly looking at. However, maybe one day. But Le Mans is definitely one of those races that I would like to compete in one day. So, yeah. I don't know when, but hopefully soon," the Ferrari driver concluded.
