By joining the prestigious Ferrari Driver Academy at the beginning of the year after two seasons at the wheel of an F4, Arthur Leclerc is one step closer to his ultimate dream: to one day take the start at a Formula 1 Grand Prix. But age 19, Charles Leclerc’s little brother still has a long journey ahead, one full of pitfalls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s never easy to make a place for yourself in the shadow of such a successful older brother. Where Charles’<\/a> talent has been dazzling the world of Formula 1 since his meteoric rise to the top level of motorsport, Arthur could also quickly make a name for himself by following in the footsteps of his elder brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I was a child, I’ve dreamed of being part of this great Ferrari family,” says Arthur Leclerc, admitting that he still finds it hard to believe. \u201cWhen you’re little, all you see on the track are the red cars (referencing the mythical Ferrari). Since then, I think it has become my favourite colour,” he smiles.<\/p>\n

For the Leclercs, F1 is above all a family affair. “It\u2019s thanks to my father. He loved motorsport and was racing in Formula 3 before I was born,” says the young driver, whose idol has been Ayrton Senna<\/a> from a young age. \u201cWe watched all the Grand Prix on television, even really in the early morning. My father was crazy about Ayrton Senna. We also watched all the films about him. I think he lived his passion through Charles and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herv\u00e9 Leclerc passed away a few years ago at the age of fifty-four.<\/p>\n
