Charles Leclerc has been dreaming about winning his home Grand Prix ever since becoming a Formula 1 driver, and his dream finally came true. He outraced the competition at the Monaco Grand Prix this past weekend to win his home race for the first time. Leclerc came into the race in pole position, determined to convert it into a win. He left the competition in the dust after a crash involving the two Haas cars and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and finished first ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and his Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz. Leclerc described his victory in Monaco as the ultimate dream and dedicated it to his late father, who shared his dream and did everything in his power to get him where he is today. “It means a lot, obviously. It’s the race that made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver one day. It was a difficult race emotionally because already 15 laps to the end you’re just hoping that nothing happens, already the emotions were coming,” said Leclerc. Leclerc’s win isn’t only a huge deal because it marks his first home victory. He also made history as the first Monégasque driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix in almost a century, since Louis Chiron in 1931.
