No, not Lewis Hamilton and not Max Verstappen. To find out who Charles Leclerc's ideal is, we have to go much deeper in time and history.
Scuderia Ferrari still has a very young star who never had a real role model, but still admires two people:
"For many in the field, Ayrton Senna is a great role model, he is a true legend. And not only in the context of motorsport, that's why I like him and admire his work. I really wanted to meet him and spend some time with him. Unfortunately, it will not happen anymore, but when we raced in Brazil, I visited the Senna Foundation in Interlagos. I saw his cars, the helmets he drove in... I was very moved, I don't deny it. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a racing driver, and especially an F1 driver, my whole life revolved around it, I barely watched the races, I have few memories of Ayrton.
My second hero is, there is no doubt who he is: you all know the bond that connects me with Jules Bianchi," Leclerc recalled about the driver who tragically died at a young age.
