Arthur and Charles Leclerc delight fans with a stellar ride

As seen in the video uploaded by Clara, several fans gathered around the circuit just to watch Charles drive the Pista.

Meanwhile, some other fans such as Livi went to the extent of calling Charles ‘Monaco’s main tourist attraction‘.

And then there were some other fans such as Clrcszn who fell sorry for Charles because of the attention he receives.

Charles once had to request fans not to crowd outside his home

While there is no doubt that Charles Leclerc is one of the most popular drivers on the current grid, his stardom is such that he had to request his fans once not to crowd outside his Monaco home. Earlier this year, the 25-year-old put up a social media post to request fans for privacy. He put up a post that read,

“For the past few months, my home address has somehow become public, leading to people gathering beneath my apartment, ringing my bell, and asking for pictures and autographs. While I’m always happy to be there for you and I truly appreciate your support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house”.

It is also perhaps this reason why several fans of the Ferrari driver feel sorry for him that he has limited privacy at all times. Considering how one short ride around the streets of Monaco got fans to gather at the circuit, it seems likely that the upcoming Monaco GP from May 26 to 28 will have a packed house.
