Charles Leclerc and his brother Arthur made F1 history at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc expressed his fear of almost missing out on a special opportunity with his brother Arthur at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This marked the first time in F1 history that two brothers were teammates in an official session, with Arthur filling in for Carlos Sainz in the mandatory rookie FP1 session. The Leclerc brothers became the first pair of siblings to drive in F1 since Michael and Ralf Schumacher in 2006. Charles faced challenges during the session as Ferrari had to replace an energy store, resulting in a 10-place grid penalty. Ferrari needed to outscore McLaren by 21 or 22 points to secure the championship. Despite the setbacks, Charles remained motivated and focused on a potential recovery. He acknowledged McLaren’s competitiveness but emphasized the unpredictable nature of the sport and the importance of staying resilient until the end.
