Despite receiving worldwide acclaim for his music, Charles Leclerc continues to remain his own biggest critic. During the recent drivers’ press conference ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, the 25-year-old stated that his music is not that good for all the praise and attention it has been receiving.
The conversation with Leclerc began after the interviewer asked him about the potential opportunity he has to ‘conquer’ America with his music. In reply, the Monegasque said, “If they are ready to be into depressing music then I’m probably the one to go to. But yeah. I mean, my music is not that good. I am a racing driver and I did that for fun”.

Leclerc and his fellow F1 drivers asked to start a band
During the same presser, the interviewer raised the prospect of Charles Leclerc and his fellow drivers starting an F1 band after the 25-year-old revealed that Nyck de Vries knows how to play the piano as well.
In reply, the Dutch driver stated that he just started and that he and Leclerc used to go to the same piano teacher before the Monegasque stopped coming.
On hearing the interviewer’s suggestion, Leclerc immediately replied that he would not be the one singing. F1 fans would hope that this suggestion turns into a reality, especially after Leclerc’s music became an instant hit.
