Charles Leclerc has recently opened up about his life away from the Formula 1 race track. The Monegasque driver detailed how important it is to have a ‘universe’ where he can be a normal guy away from the buzz of Formula 1.
The Scuderia Ferrari driver, who endured a forgettable race last time out at the Hungarian Grand Prix, detailed how largely he prefers to disappear from the spotlight to be alone with his family. Speaking in an interview via AutoSprint, he stated:
“It's important to have your own universe. Now there are very few places where I can be myself, live like a normal guy with my family. I can isolate myself when we take a few days' vacation on a boat, away from everything and everyone, close only to my loved ones. There I'm sure I'll be alone with my family, my dog, my girlfriend; that's where I feel good."
The F1 mid-season break has largely time to spend with his family and to himself. The eight-time Grand Prix winner has, however, teased fans with snapshots of his time off across his social media.

Charles Leclerc pleased with Ferrari’s decision on Vasseur
Shifting focus to on-track action, Charles Leclerc earlier expressed his delight with the Scuderia Ferrari team's decision to extend the contract of team principal Frederic Vasseur. The 27-year-old expressed how the decision to continue with the French motorsports chief was crucial for the stability of the team.
“I'm not the one making the decisions, but I think stability is always very important. Fred is the person we look up to and the person leading the team. To have him for many more years is definitely a good thing, also because in Formula 1 it takes time to build something, especially a successful team.”
“I'm very happy about that. Knowing that I'll be able to have Fred alongside me for more years makes me optimistic for the future.”
