Charles Leclerc has been embedded on the F1 grid since 2018 but the Monégasque driver is open to exploring options outside the series.
Charles Leclerc has expressed interest in participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and potentially the Indianapolis 500 before retiring from racing. Due to the expanded F1 calendar, drivers have limited opportunities to explore racing outside of Formula 1, unlike previous eras. Ferrari, a successful Le Mans manufacturer, has won the last two events in the Hypercar category. Several F1 drivers, including Max Verstappen, have shown interest in Le Mans, and now Leclerc has added his name to the list of aspiring competitors. Leclerc, who has won two races this F1 season, considers both his victories in Monaco and Italy equally special and significant as a Monégasque and a Ferrari driver.
