We recently wrote that Arthur Leclerc, Charles’ younger brother, now also works at Ferrari, but as a ‘development driver’, i.e. His tasks include helping to fine-tune the car and especially working on the simulator.
Yesterday, Arthur drove the F1-75, Ferrari’s 2022 car, at the Barcelona circuit as part of private tests. Today he should be replaced by Oliver Berman, who signed a contract as a reserve driver with the Scuderia.
“It was a beautiful, absolutely incredible experience! – Leclerc Jr. commented after the first day at the track. “The car is very fast, I have never driven anything like it before.” The impressions are simply amazing!
If six years ago, before I took up motorsport seriously, I was told that I would have to work all day behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car on the same circuit where my brother drives, I would of course be incredibly happy!
I’m glad this happened and I’m grateful to Ferrari for their confidence in giving me one. opportunity – I hope to see you soon!”
It is no coincidence that Arthur mentioned his older brother: at the same time, Pirelli tests are taking place today at the Catalan ring, in which Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, drivers of the main Ferrari team, are working behind the wheel of last year’s race. SF-23. But as usual, the Italian tire manufacturers do not share any information about the progress of such tests – at best, the Pirelli press service will publish a short message about their results.
