Since Leclerc did not give a clear answer, many fans will continue to speculate about who is the owner of this car. Even if the car does not belong to Leclerc, the timing of this is particularly interesting. This news comes just a few days after reports emerged that the 25-year-old was considering buying a new Ferrari to replace his $331,000 Pista.
Leclerc has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons
Charles Leclerc finds himself in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. It was just a few weeks ago when the Monegasque’s $320,000 Richard Mille watch was snatched off his wrist.
And now just a few days ago, Leclerc put up an Instagram story on his social media to request fans to respect his privacy. The Ferrari driver explained how his address had ‘somehow gotten public’ and how he had fans gathering beneath his apartment and ringing the bell for pictures and autographs.
While he did greatly appreciate the support of his fans and said that he would do the best he can to greet all of them, he did request them to ‘refrain’ from coming to his house. He ended his post by requesting his fans to not cross this boundary. After Leclerc put up this emotional story, several fans took to social media and slammed such behavior.
