In an interview with L’Equipe, Charles Leclerc talked about the Monaco home circuit and the dream of winning the title with Ferrari…
Charles Leclerc: “All I want is to win the title with Ferrari. It doesn’t matter if it’s against Max, Lewis or anyone else. I want to bring Ferrari back to the top. We want to win.
I am proud that Mattia has compared me to Gilles Villeneuve. This is a flattering comparison. Gilles gave 200% every time he got behind the wheel. And he loved Ferrari. I don’t know if you can feel it from the outside, but I think I have it too.
This winter Mattia told me a few things about Michael Schumacher, about how much he influenced the team, how much he pushed to improve professionalism. We still feel the mark he left on Ferrari.
Michael made us all dream. I wanted to get into Formula 1 to be just like him. And play in this team. But my idol has always been Ayrton Senna.
Of course I want to win the race this weekend. Here is my house. I went to school here. When I raced as a kid, the teachers wondered why I wasn’t in the class. It would be great to win here, in front of my family, my friends, everyone who believed in me.
I like city tracks, I like to flirt with risk. You have no room for mistakes on such tracks. You feel adrenaline. Last year I took a big risk to take pole position. I knew I had to perform a miracle to get in the front row and ended up in the wall. This time I will not take such risks, I understand that points are very important. But I’m not going to change my approach, I’m going to keep my traditions. Mainly sleep at home.
