Charles Leclerc and his brother Arthur share a very close relationship with the latter also being a part of the Ferrari junior academy. In the middle of their break in between races, Leclerc took his younger brother out for a spin around the streets of Monaco, in a very special ‘taxi’.
Leclerc owns a Ferrari Pista, that costs $331,000 according to Cars HP, and is specially customized for him. It can reach a speed of 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.98-liter V8 engine. Sounds fancy, right? Well, his brother Arthur found it to be just another day and a ‘taxi ride’.

So far, Charles Leclerc hasn’t had a single Monaco GP he can count as memorable, with incidents, reliability issues, and bad luck plaguing all of his outings. In fact, even during a show run on Niki Lauda’s championship-winning Ferrari a few years ago, Leclerc lost control and crashed in the Rascasse corner.
