Charles Leclerc gifts his Ferrari helmet for Suzuka GP to Bianchi family. Charles Leclerc has gifted his Ferrari helmet from the Japanese GP to Philippe Bianchi.

Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc has spent his entire life chasing last Sunday’s victory. The sixth win of his career, achieved in his hometown of Monte Carlo, will always hold a special place in his heart. It’s a victory he also wished to achieve in Suzuka, ten years after the fatal accident of Jules Bianchi.

The Ferrari driver decided to donate the helmet used in the Japanese Grand Prix (dedicated to his great friend and mentor) to Bianchi’s family, following the tragic accident in 2014 that led to his death.
