Star Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc recently revealed that because of the high demands of Formula 1, he does not get the opportunity to check his social media accounts as often as before. However, he did admit that he finds the time for one exception. And that is to check his fans’ reactions to his songs.
While speaking to as.com about whether he checks his social media accounts, Leclerc replied, “When I post a song I do look at the comments to see if they like it or think it’s rubbish (laughs). And I was happy with the comments“.
The Monegasque then went on to state that when he was in F2, he did check his social media accounts a lot. The primary reason he stopped doing so when he made it to F1 is that he believes that ‘a lot of people do not mean well.’
Charles Leclerc’s first song receives huge acclaim
Charles Leclerc dropped his first single, ‘AUS23’, over a week ago on various platforms, including iTunes. The Monegasque’s song received worldwide praise with it also featuring on the iTunes top 10 lists of new singles.
When asked about how his interest in creating music began during his interview with as.com, Leclerc replied, “I always play the piano between races. I have liked it since the pandemic. It helps me to disconnect. I play it when I have time“.
The 25-year-old then went on to add that he thought about releasing his first single after several fans appreciated him while he used to upload videos of himself playing the piano on his Instagram handle. He concluded his remarks by stating that this does not take him much time and that his concentration is still entirely on racing.
Leclerc produced his best performance of the 2023 season in Baku
After a disastrous start to the 2023 season with two DNFs and just one sixth-place finish, Charles Leclerc finally scored points in double digits in Baku last weekend. The Monegasque driver finished a brilliant second in the sprint shootout to score seven points before finishing third in the main race to score another 15 points.
Consequently of this result, he increased his points tally to 28 for the season and moved up to sixth in the championship. The 25-year-old is now just six points behind his Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz after the first four races of the season.
