Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc claimed that his younger brother Arthur Leclerc had to stop racing due to his family's financial struggles. Arthur Leclerc got the opportunity to share the track with his older brother during the FP1 session at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix earlier in the month.
Despite coming from Monaco and becoming only the second driver from Principality after Louis Chiron, Charles Leclerc does not hail from a wealthy background. The financial backing of former Ferrari manager Jean Todt's son Nicholas Todt helped both Charles Leclerc and his younger brother, Arthur, to flourish in their respective careers.
The 27-year-old Monagasque has been a mainstay at the Italian team since the 2019 season and is the star of the Maranello-based outfit. After making his debut with the Scuderia outfit in 2019, he has grown from strength to strength to become one of the best on the grid and a future world champion.
