From acclaimed journalist Adam HayNicholls, the very first biography of rising star Charles Leclerc, published to mark the start of the 2023 Formula One season. Few of the drivers on the F1 grid have the racing pedigree of Charles Leclerc. Widely regarded as one of the sports hottest prospects, he was crowned F3 and then F2 champion in backtoback seasons before he made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018. Now firmly established as Ferraris great hope, following in the footsteps of legends Alberto Ascari, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, Leclerc has his eyes set on becoming world champion. Born in Monaco to a family of comparatively modest means, Leclerc remembers playing with toy cars on a friends balcony as the best drivers in the world whizzed around the Monte Carlo circuit on the streets below. This early experience inspired him to get behind the wheel, encouraged by his father Herv, and so began his meteoric rise in the sport. Along the way, he lost his father, his godfather and his best friend all racing drivers and this gave Leclerc the inner steel to become a winner. Writer Adam HayNicholls, who has spent much of his career in the Formula One paddock, provides the inside track on this rising star, recounting how he has taken the racing world by storm. And as Leclercs Ferrari is beginning to fire on all cylinders, will he beat his old rival and adversary Max Verstappen to the world title?
