Charles Leclerc was involved in a very curious incident after securing pole position in the virtual Monaco Grand Prix. Everyone knows how important the Monaco weekend is for Ferrari’s number 16. With pole positions never converted into victories and wrong strategies, the Monaco Grand Prix seems cursed for Charles Leclerc.
The Monegasque driver has never managed to secure a podium on his home streets, and as he confirmed in a press conference, he wants to break the “curse” this weekend. His desire to achieve a good result is so strong that he couldn’t control his emotions even in the virtual race.
For this weekend, a virtual Grand Prix was organized, featuring several guests, including Charles Leclerc and Alexander Albon. The Ferrari driver secured pole position before his eyes welled up with tears.
“Are you crying?” a journalist immediately asked him. “Yes, I am very happy about the pole,” Charles Leclerc replied. “I hope you can experience the same emotions this weekend,” the journalist added.
So much emotion for a virtual pole? In reality, there might be more behind this amusing moment. The reason for the tears was explained by the Ferrari driver himself with a like on a tweet suggesting that a yawn was behind it all.
No emotional tears, then, for a Charles Leclerc who hopes to celebrate equally prestigious results on the track, especially this weekend in front of his home crowd.
