Did Charles Leclerc Buy a New Ferrari? Fans Spot a Striking Red Livery Ferrari in Monaco With Number 16

Charles Leclerc is one of the most popular drivers in Formula 1 and has a huge loyal fan base. Even though the 25-year-old Monegasque does not post too often on his social media accounts, millions of fans keep tabs on him by checking social media for viral posts about him.

The latest news surrounding Leclerc that has caught the attention of fans is about an expensive Ferrari car that many fans believe belongs to the Monegasque driver. Moreover, it is pertinent to note that the car also has the number 16, which is Leclerc’s F1 car number.

Charles Leclerc confuses his fans with his social media activity

A Charles Leclerc fan recently took to their social media handle and put up two striking images of a Ferrari car that they clicked themselves in Monaco. After uploading the images of the car, the fan took to social media and asked Leclerc if the car was his.

While Leclerc did not respond to the fans’ posts, he did like a post put up by the fan. A few hours later, the fan put up another post by stating that they just took the photos and that they believe the owner of this luxurious Ferrari car is just a fan of Leclerc.

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.
