Charles Leclerc appears pumped for a return to on-track action as the Formula 1 mid-season break wraps up. The 27-year-old took to his social media to express his excitement after what appeared to be an eventful break.
The Scuderia Ferrari driver, who endured a difficult outing last time out at the Hungarian Grand Prix, shared a series of photos on Instagram highlighting his holiday. The Monegasque driver, who seemed to spend most of his time at sea and also witnessed his brother Lorenzo test for the Ferrari outfit, accompanied his post with the caption:
“Holidays are now over. It’s time to get back to what I love most doing, driving.
With the summer break now over, Leclerc will set his sights on delivering impressive performances in the final 10 races of the 2025 campaign.

Charles Leclerc speaks on his happy place away from F1

Earlier, Leclerc opened up about his happy place away from the high-octane world of Formula 1. In an interview with AutoSprint, the eight-time Grand Prix winner explained the importance of spending time in what he regards as his ‘own universe.’ The former Sauber driver also highlighted how he prefers to vacation and spend time with his family.
“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."
Leclerc indeed seemed to enjoy a fair share of these things during the F1 mid-season break. The Ferrari driver often kept fans updated with his holiday activities via social media. He will now shift his focus to the resumption of Formula 1, starting with the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
