Arthur Leclerc woke up at the crack of dawn on Tuesday in Barcelona buzzing with excitement and anticipation, but the thrill likely went into overload as he was strapped into Ferrari’s SF-75 for his maiden run onboard an F1 machine.
Like his brother, Ferrari charger Charles Leclerc, the 23-year-old has been pursuing a career in motorsports since his childhood. And like Charles, taking to the track at the wheel of a Ferrari F1 car was a dream come true for Arthur.
“It was just amazing, an incredible experience, the car feels so fast, it’s nothing like I’ve experienced before,” he said. “It was just crazy!”
“If you would have told me six years ago, before I started motorsport, that I would have done a day in Formula 1 and on the same track as my brother, I think I would have gone crazy.
“Just so happy to have done it!”
Arthur Leclerc will always remember his first time.
