For Charles Leclerc, it is also an emotional weekend. The Ferrari driver scored his first F1 victory during the weekend Hubert passed away. The Monegasque also knew the driver well.

Always have so many emotions when I come back to Spa. A place where I got my first win in F1 but also where I lost a good friend. Thinking about you @AnthoineH ❤️
