Since an early age, Charles Leclerc has been a Ferrari fan, and he has never hidden his love for the Italian side so much that it was his dream to drive for Ferrari, which he achieved in 2019.
He was mostly inspired by his godfather Jules Bianchi, who also came from Ferrari Driver’s academy and rose to compete in Formula 1. However, he never achieved the Ferrari dream as a fatal accident during the Japanese Grand Prix took away his life.
But Leclerc managed to complete his dream and became the first driver from the academy to be a Ferrari driver eventually. He now aims to be a world champion with Ferrari. Even in difficult times, he remained committed to them, showing his dedication to the Maranello side.

Ferrari fans spot how obsessed Charles Leclerc is with the team
During the off-season, Leclerc’s photo appeared online, where he was wearing a Ferrari hoodie. Being a millionaire, Leclerc can afford any outfit for his outings. But he was spotted wearing a $656 worth hoodie by Ferrari.
Reacting to it, several fans on Twitter claim that Leclerc is obsessed with his team after he appeared in his Ferrari hoodie. This is not the only time Leclerc was spotted in Ferrari apparel. In one of his ice baths videos, he was seen wearing Ferrari socks. So, the Monegasque certainly loves his team’s merchandise.

A section of fans thinks that the hoodie is overpriced, and if a star driver is getting it for free, they surely wouldn’t mind wearing it. Meanwhile, someone even wanted Ferrari to pay Leclerc to promote their clothes.
If a company gave me free clothes I’d be in them all the time too.

Waiting for the 2023 season
The next season would be another chance for Ferrari to end their championship drought finally. After a sluggish 2020, 2021 was used for the revival, and Ferrari was back to compete in 2022.
However, they were obliterated by superior Red Bull. But ahead of the new season, some positive reports appear from Italy. According to Formu1a.uno, Ferrari has recorded an improvement of one second on the simulator compared to the last year’s car.
If the projections are accurate,, Ferrari should be expected to make a solid contention for the championship in 2023. But it remains to be seen when their car will hit the road for the first time in Bahrain.
