Charles Leclerc goes back to his roots

Charles Leclerc will remember his maiden season of Grand Prix racing as a springboard to F1's celestial point: a drive with Scuderia Ferrari.

It's a massive opportunity for the 21-year-old, but also one that carries a heavy legacy, and an even bigger load of pressure and expectation.

Leclerc has the next two months to prepare for his new endeavor, but the Monegasque started his 2019 groundwork by going back to his roots this week and indulging in a day of karting.

As the end-of-year holidays approaches, or indeed at any time in our life, it's always useful to remind ourselves where we came from, for that is often what makes us who we are.
