I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
After winning the Monaco Grand Prix, fans spotted Charles Leclerc cycling home from the paddock like it was any other Sunday. The Monegasque won on the streets he grew up in, with Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz joining him on the podium in the principality. After celebrating with the Scuderia and jumping into the iconic harbour, Leclerc rode his bike home. The Ferrari driver was spotted by some eagle-eyed fans, who were ecstatic to see the home hero. Watch the clip here:

Leclerc has secured pole position in previous years, but something often went wrong for him. Once, he crashed after securing pole position and damaged his gearbox, which prevented him from starting the race. A Ferrari strategy blunder also cost him victory once in the place he calls home.
Many F1 drivers on the grid call Monaco home, including George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. This is due to the lack of income tax, brilliant location, privacy and warm weather.
