Leclerc is working on a secret project in Milan

While the Formula 1 season is in full swing, Charles Leclerc is busy with another project. Together with the founders of Grom, Federico Grom and Guido Martinetti, and his business manager Nicolas Todt, the Monegasque is busy setting up something in Milan.

Leclerc is to open an ice cream parlour in Milan

It looks like this will be an ice cream parlour, partly because of his partners. After all, Grom is an ice cream parlour chain in Italy. The name of the ice cream parlour will be 'LEC'. An official announcement will follow in mid-April.

In a press release, Leclerc reveals that a project is indeed on the way. What exactly it will be, he does not release here either, but he gives several hints. "A very special project for me: a big new adventure outside the racing circuit. As a professional athlete, it is crucial for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle, with my performance strongly linked to commitment, training and fitness. However, this does not stop me from indulging in a few small guilty pleasures, particularly those of a food I love. Maybe you've already figured out which one. Creating a product that is delicious and at the same time can be part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle like mine was the starting point of a personal journey, a journey I have enjoyed and finally want to share with you all."
