About F1 races without spectators
Charles: “In a situation like this, the safety and the health of everyone comes first. Whatever we can do to start the season as early as possible but in a safe way, I think it will be better even if the spectators are not here. As a driver you obviously feel the support. Last year in Monza, going there, being in Italy, driving for Ferrari, we could definitely feel the support. It has helped us to win the race there. It was a very special weekend. I think for every driver, seeing the grandstand, fans supporting you feels special but unfortunately with the situation as it is now, it might not be possible at first so we probably have to start like that.”

Charles about #RACEFORTHEWORLD : “When the lockdown started, we started to speak with all the drivers just to train all together. At one point, I just had the idea to maybe do it for a good cause, to help the world in this tough situation. It is working pretty well. We are having fun, I think we are also entertaining the fans at home who cannot for the moment watch the real sport. I started to speak with a few drivers about it and apart from being great drivers, Lando (Norris), Alex (Albon) and all the others involved in this are also great persons and I think straightaway we wanted to make this happen.”
