Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc admitted that he gets very stressed watching his brother Arthur race, saying he imagines all possible bad things that could happen. Charles Leclerc has enjoyed a hugely successful racing career so far, becoming one of the most highly-rated drivers in Formula 1, and his brother is trying to follow in his footsteps.
Arthur is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy and currently racing for Prema in Formula 3 after finishing P2 in the Formula Regional European Championship last year. His aim is to one day join Charles on the Formula 1 grid and the Ferrari man hopes it happens, not least because he will not have to get stressed watching him anymore.
“I’m just very, very happy to see him doing so, so well.” – the older Leclerc said, in an interview for CNN – “I really hope he will be joining me on the Formula 1 grid very soon, but it’s still a long way to go. I’m 10 times more stressed whenever it’s him racing compared to when I am racing because when I have the helmet on, I don’t think about the danger of the sport. But whenever I see him from the outside, I start to think about all the bad scenarios that can happen.”
While Charles is happy to offer Arthur advice and help him with his career where he can, he says the relationship between the two is centred around motorsport and is a normal brotherly one: “Whenever he needs help, he knows I’m here for him and he can call me anytime. But most of the time, we are just speaking about our lives, just like normal brothers will do.” – he explained.
