Charles Leclerc
Ferrari
Charles Leclerc arrived in F1 billed as a future champion after a glittering junior career including F2 title success. A proud Monegasque, he has become the emotional centre of Ferrari’s modern era — devastatingly quick over one lap and a fan favourite on street circuits. The 2025 season saw him finish fifth overall with 242 points, leading Ferrari’s score sheet while the team refined its package against McLaren and Mercedes.
