A home race is an important milestone for a driver of any stature, but for the Leclerc family, racing on home turf in Monaco is a big part of the clan's legacy.
Both Charles and brother Arthur will be in action in the Principality this weekend, with the former undoubtedly feeling the weight of expectation with Ferrari and the latter seeking to secure his first win in the FIA Formula 2 Championship.
Along with brother Enzo who looks after the interests of his siblings, and with their mother Pascale, the family came together this week for a moment of bonding ahead of the furor and glitz of Formula 1's most prestigious event.
Monaco remains the backdrop of the Leclerc family's shared journey in motorsport, the place where Charles and Arthur's dreams first took flight, propelled by the passion of their late father, Hervé, who passed away in 2017.
His helmet remains the symbol of a spirit that continues to spur on the tight-knit tribe.
