Charles Leclerc spins out… fashion, not laundry

40

There’s certainly nothing wrong with a Grand Prix titan handling his own laundry, as Charles Leclerc demonstrates, seen here patiently waiting through a wash cycle… or at least that’s what it looks like.

In reality, the candid shot is part of an ad on social media unveiling the Ferrari driver’s 'Leclerc' merchandise and clothes line – a relaxed, stylish collection of tees, hoodies, and even a dog sweater inspired by his dachshund, Leo.

Whether you’re cheering from the couch, grabbing coffee, or taking your four-legged friend for a walk, Charles has made casual style look effortless… and maybe a little faster than your laundry routine.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
