Kada Sárközi joined GPblog as an editor ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season. He graduated with a BA in Sports Journalism in the UK and has covered Grands Prix and other F1 events live.

Charles Leclerc has been able to announce happy news via his Instagram page. The Monegasque driver has been able to welcome a new family member: Leo. The Ferrari driver is not talking about a baby, but a puppy. The images shown by Leclerc include how little Leo is happily marching through the grass.

Unfortunately for Leo, he will have to miss his owner for the next few days. Leclerc is travelling to China, where next weekend's Shanghai Grand Prix is scheduled. The good news for the cute puppy: after that, two races will follow close by; first in Barcelona and then in his home country of Monaco. So then Leo hardly needs to miss Charles.
