Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc looking to end his Monaco jinx in 2022. Charles looking to end his Monaco jinx in 2022.

At times, Formula 1 drivers just click at a certain venue and everything goes perfect for them each time, while for others there are certain circuit where it just doesn’t work out for them, regardless of the teams or circumstances of each Grand Prix. However, when this happens in your home event, it definitely becomes a lot more poignant one way or another.

Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is Monaco’s most successful Formula 1 driver, but despite the fact that Charles has spent his childhood taking the bus to school along the roads used for the track, he has not yet been able to finish the Monaco Grand Prix in front of his own fans.

His series of bad luck in Formula 1 on the streets of Monte Carlo started with his debut at Alfa Romeo in 2018, but his bad luck at the event goes back even further than that as he was forced to retire after starting from pole position in Formula 2 the year before, leading to him starting the Sprint Race at the back and failing to make much progress given the track layout, but also an electrical issue.

In his first season with Scuderia Ferrari, Charles Leclerc dropped out in Q1 after a team error back in 2019, then saw the Monaco Grand Prix cancelled the following year due to the restrictions at that time, while in 2021, the Ferrari driver set an amazing first run in the qualifying session to secure pole position, but sadly was involved in a crash on his final Q3 attempt. He suffered the consequences on Sunday, when Ferrari realised he would not be able to take part in the Monaco Grand Prix due to car damage which surfaced only when Ferrari started the car and Charles was on his way to the grid, without the time needed to fix the issue.

As if that was not enough, Charles Leclerc took part in a demo run two weeks ago at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix behind the wheel Niki Lauda’s classic 1974 Ferrari Formula 1 car, but due to a broken brake disc he crashed at Rascasse. Surely, surely, Charles’ luck will change this season.
