Charles Leclerc's Accidental Collision with Scuderia Ferrari's Purosangue
Charles Leclerc's Recent Incident with Scuderia Ferrari
In April, Charles Leclerc celebrated the delivery of his new Ferrari Purosangue in Monte-Carlo. Unfortunately, this luxury crossover, valued at 400,000 euros, experienced its first scratch during a drive in the principality. While navigating through traffic at the iconic hairpin known from Formula 1, Leclerc seemingly became distracted. A black family van suddenly stopped in front of him, resulting in a minor collision.
Media Attention and Public Reactions
As usual in Monaco, paparazzi were present, capturing the incident that quickly made rounds on TikTok, amassing over half a million views. While minor scratches on a Ferrari can be costly, Leclerc's substantial annual salary of over 20 million euros makes repair costs manageable.
What Happened Next?
- The TikTok video shows Leclerc leaning forward post-accident, pointing towards the roadside.
- It's unclear whether he attempted to guide the obstructed vehicle out of the traffic jam or if both drivers simply resumed their journey.
Regardless, Leclerc likely feels the sting of embarrassment and can expect some teasing from his fellow Formula 1 drivers at the upcoming race in Baku.
