Charles Leclerc showed his best last week. The Monegasque took part in a charity football match. The goal was to draw attention to the organisation Fight Aids.

"It's for a good cause. We have to keep fighting against this evil. I really enjoyed the match, even though I'm bad at soccer!" Leclerc said afterwards. He enjoyed the match. "It was all chill at the beginning, but once in the field there is the competitive spirit, but everything stayed calm and there was a good spirit throughout the match."

Match was lost

The match did end up in defeat for Leclerc and his team. "My team played well, we had very good players, and a few less good ones like me but anyway the plan was to show that we are fighting against this evil, so yes we lost the match but that is not the most important thing today," he stated.

Leclerc has had a busy week. Preparations for the 2022 season are in full swing. On Friday, he put miles into an old F1 car at Ferrari's private Fiorano circuit.
