Charles Leclerc and Arthur Leclerc take to the padel court at APM Monaco event

Charles Leclerc and Arthur Leclerc enjoy padel outing at APM Monaco event

Formula 1 may dominate Charles Leclerc’s schedule during the racing season, but the Ferrari driver recently took some time away from the track to enjoy a different kind of competition. Together with his younger brother Arthur Leclerc, Charles participated in a special padel event organized by luxury jewellery brand APM Monaco, one of his long-standing personal partners.

The event brought together sport, lifestyle and entertainment in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing fans to see a different side of the Monegasque driver outside the Formula 1 paddock. Both Charles and Arthur appeared in excellent spirits as they stepped onto the padel court, greeting their opponents before enjoying a friendly match.

A competitive spirit beyond Formula 1

While Formula 1 remains Charles Leclerc’s main focus, the Ferrari star has often spoken about his passion for staying active through other sports whenever his busy calendar allows. Padel has become increasingly popular among professional athletes thanks to its fast pace, quick reflexes and emphasis on teamwork, making it an ideal activity for drivers looking to maintain their fitness while enjoying some friendly competition.

Arthur Leclerc, who has built his own career in motorsport, joined his older brother for the event, highlighting the close relationship the two siblings continue to share away from the racetrack. Their appearance also reflected the growing popularity of padel in Monaco, where the sport has attracted a rapidly expanding community in recent years.

As an ambassador for APM Monaco, Charles Leclerc regularly takes part in promotional events that combine luxury, fashion and sport. The padel gathering offered another opportunity for the Ferrari driver to connect with fans and partners while enjoying a more informal setting during a demanding Formula 1 season.

With the British Grand Prix at Silverstone approaching, the event also served as a brief moment of relaxation before Charles Leclerc returns to the cockpit of the SF-26 for another important race weekend. Although the focus will soon shift back to Ferrari’s on-track ambitions, occasions like these offer supporters a glimpse into the driver’s personality beyond Formula 1.

Judging by the smiles on court, both Charles and Arthur Leclerc embraced the competitive challenge just as enthusiastically as they do in motorsport, proving once again that the passion for sport runs deep in the Leclerc family.
