Leclerc’s father had a lifelong dream of watching his son drive for Ferrari. Tragically, in the middle of the Monegasque star’s championship-winning F2 season, he passed away. Still, Leclerc consoled his dad on his deathbed, telling him that he did sign for Ferrari.

Just two years later, the Maranello-based outfit ended up securing him, and he fulfilled his father’s wish. Today, Leclerc is the star driver for the most successful F1 team in history.
