In his eight years at Ferrari, Charles Leclerc has established himself as a popular and talented Monegasque prince of the Formula One grid, yet being crowned as his sport’s king remains just a dream.

The 28-year-old said in an interview in August that it “is still possible” for him to become world champion in 2027, although it will be “surely a difficult goal to achieve.”

He has flashed his talent again this season, winning at Silverstone and stepping onto the podium after three other races.
